Documentation

On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the npk data set which pertains to Classical N, P, K Factorial Experiment. The npk data set is found in the datasets R package. You can load the npk data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("npk"). This will load the data into a variable called npk. If R says the npk data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("datasets") and then attempt to reload the data. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the npk R data set. The size of this file is about 518 bytes.

## Classical N, P, K Factorial Experiment

### Description

A classical N, P, K (nitrogen, phosphate, potassium) factorial experiment on the growth of peas conducted on 6 blocks. Each half of a fractional factorial design confounding the NPK interaction was used on 3 of the plots.

### Usage

npk


### Format

The npk data frame has 24 rows and 5 columns:

block

which block (label 1 to 6).

N

indicator (0/1) for the application of nitrogen.

P

indicator (0/1) for the application of phosphate.

K

indicator (0/1) for the application of potassium.

yield

Yield of peas, in pounds/plot (the plots were (1/70) acre).

### Examples

options(contrasts = c("contr.sum", "contr.poly"))
npk.aov <- aov(yield ~ block + N*P*K, npk)
npk.aov
summary(npk.aov)
coef(npk.aov)
options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly"))
npk.aov1 <- aov(yield ~ block + N + K, data = npk)
summary.lm(npk.aov1)
se.contrast(npk.aov1, list(N=="0", N=="1"), data = npk)
model.tables(npk.aov1, type = "means", se = TRUE)
