Orange

Growth of Orange Trees

The Orange data frame has 35 rows and 3 columns of records of the growth of orange trees.

Usage

Orange

Format

An object of class c("nfnGroupedData", "nfGroupedData", "groupedData", "data.frame") containing the following columns:

Tree: an ordered factor indicating the tree on which the measurement is made. The ordering is according to increasing maximum diameter.
age: a numeric vector giving the age of the tree (days since 1968/12/31)
circumference: a numeric vector of trunk circumferences (mm). This is probably “circumference at breast height”, a standard measurement in forestry.

Details

This dataset was originally part of package nlme, and that has methods (including for [, as.data.frame, plot and print) for its grouped-data classes.

require(stats); require(graphics)
coplot(circumference ~ age | Tree, data = Orange, show.given = FALSE)
fm1 <- nls(circumference ~ SSlogis(age, Asym, xmid, scal),
 data = Orange, subset = Tree == 3)
plot(circumference ~ age, data = Orange, subset = Tree == 3,
 xlab = "Tree age (days since 1968/12/31)",
 ylab = "Tree circumference (mm)", las = 1,
 main = "Orange tree data and fitted model (Tree 3 only)")
age <- seq(0, 1600, length.out = 101)
