iris {datasets} | R Documentation |
This famous (Fisher's or Anderson's) iris data set gives the measurements in centimeters of the variables sepal length and width and petal length and width, respectively, for 50 flowers from each of 3 species of iris. The species are Iris setosa, versicolor, and virginica.
iris iris3
iris
is a data frame with 150 cases (rows) and 5 variables
(columns) named Sepal.Length
, Sepal.Width
,
Petal.Length
, Petal.Width
, and Species
.
iris3
gives the same data arranged as a 3-dimensional array
of size 50 by 4 by 3, as represented by S-PLUS. The first dimension
gives the case number within the species subsample, the second the
measurements with names Sepal L.
, Sepal W.
,
Petal L.
, and Petal W.
, and the third the species.
