     data(HairEyeColor)

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A 3-dimensional array resulting from cross-tabulating 592

     This data set is useful for illustrating various techniques for
     the analysis of contingency tables, such as the standard
     chi-squared test or, more generally, log-linear modelling, and
     graphical methods such as mosaic plots, sieve diagrams or
     association plots.
