Oslo: Oslo Transect Subset Data

In heplots: Visualizing Hypothesis Tests in Multivariate Linear Models

Description

The Oslo data set contains chemical concentrations of 332 samples of different plant species collected along a 120 km transect running through the city of Oslo, Norway. It is a subset of the OsloTransect data provided by the rrcov package.

Usage

data(Oslo)

Details

The OsloTransect contains 360 observations, with 9 observations per site. Only 7 chemical elements were retained from the 25 contained in the OsloTransect data, and these were all log-transformed, following Todorov and Filzmoser (2009).

Only complete cases on these variables were retained, and two lithological types of low frequency were removed, leaving 332 observations.
