The data for this assignment are from Michael Crawlely's web site. The files are fertilizer.txt and farms.txt.
The data set fertilizer.txt records the root length (root) of twelve plants (plant) measured at two-week intervals (week) for a total of ten weeks. One half the plants had fertilizer added, the other half, the controls, did not (fertilizer). Thus we have multiple measurements made on the same plant as well as measurements made on different plants.
The data set farms.txt records plant size (size) and soil nitrogen levels (N) at 120 locations. A random sample of 24 farms (farm) was initially obtained and then measurements were taken at five locations on each farm.
