\keyword{datasets}{VADeaths}
\begin{Description}\relax
Death rates per 1000 in Virginia in 1940.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}VADeaths\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Format}\relax
A matrix with 5 rows and 4 columns.
\end{Format}
\begin{Details}\relax
The death rates are measured per 1000 population per year.  They
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.
