pluton {cluster} | R Documentation |
The pluton
data frame has 45 rows and 4 columns,
containing percentages of isotopic composition of 45 Plutonium
batches.
data(pluton)
This data frame contains the following columns:
Note that the percentage of plutonium~242 can be computed from the other four percentages, see the examples.
In the reference below it is explained why it is very desirable to combine these plutonium patches in three groups of similar size.
