A matrix with 5 rows and 5 columns.Description
Death rates per 100 in Virginia in 1940. The death rates are
cross-classified by age group (rows) and population group
(columns). The age groups are: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74
and the population groups are Rural/Male, Rural/Female, Urban/Male
and Urban/Female.
This provides a rather nice 3-way analysis of variance example.
