Wheat Kernels
Description
Data.frame
Usage
data(wheat)
Format
The data frame has 275 rows and 7 variables:
- class
hrw = hard red winter wheat and srw = soft red winter wheat.
- density
Density of a kernel.
- hardness
Hardness of a kernel.
- size
Size of a kernel.
- weight
Weight of a kernel.
- moisture
Moisture content of a kernel.
- type
Kernel's condition: Healthy, Sprout (sprouted prematurely), or Scab (infected with a fungus).
Details
A study on kernels of wheat was done. There are two classes of wheat: hard and soft red winter wheat. Each kernel measured for density, hardness, size, weight, and moisture content. Each kernel was classified by visual inspection if healthy, sprouted, or scab. A row in the data frame represents a kernel of wheat.
