Growth Curves for Sitka Spruce Trees in 1988

Description:

     The 'Sitka' data frame has 395 rows and 4 columns.  It gives
     repeated measurements on the log-size of 79 Sitka spruce trees, 54
     of which were grown in ozone-enriched chambers and 25 were
     controls.  The size was measured five times in 1988, at roughly
     monthly intervals.

Usage:

     data(Sitka)

Format:

     This data frame contains the following columns:

     'size' measured size (height times diameter squared) of tree, on
          log scale

     'Time' time of measurement in  days since 1 January 1988

     'tree' number of tree

     'treat' either '"ozone"' for an ozone-enriched chamber or
          '"control"'
