Barley Disease Data
Description
These data sets, named barley.disease and barley.exposed, are 3-way arrays that are 8 by 5 by 3.
The first dimension ("cultivar") represents varieties of barley and wheat, the second ("time") is
approximate two week periods in 1986, and the third ("cluster") is locations in the field.
Plants were grown in a disease-free greenhouse and then set out in small pots at specific locations in a field
infected with the disease which is now called "barley yellow streak mosaic virus disease". The data are taken from
Table 10 of the reference below. These data are not related to the data set barley, included in the package Sdatasets.
