wheat

Format

The format of the object generated by running data(wheat) is a three column data frame made available by Hongfei Li. The example section shows how to convert this to the object used in demonstrating the aple function, and is a formal class 'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' [package "sp"] with 5 slots; the data slot is a data frame with 500 observations on the following 6 variables.

  • lat local coordinates northings ordered north to south

  • yield Mercer and Hall wheat yield data

  • r rows south to north; levels in distance units of plot centres

  • c columns west to east; levels in distance units of plot centres

  • lon local coordinates eastings

  • lat1 local coordinates northings ordered south to north

Note

The value of 4.03 was changed to 4.33 (wheat[71,]) 13 January 2014; thanks to Sandy Burden; cross-checked with http://www.itc.nl/personal/rossiter/teach/R/mhw.csv, which agrees.
