Includes the volumes (ml) of 85 loaves of bread made under controlled conditions from 100-gram batches of dough made with 17 different varieties of wheat flour and 5 levels of potassium bromate (mg).

Usage

bread

Format

variety

a factor indicating the variety of flour used.

bromate

a number denoting the amount of potassium bromate used (milligrams).

volume

Details

Data from a bread-baking experiment by Larmour (1941). Later reproduced by Scheffe (1959) and then used by Duncan (1965) to contrast different multiple comparison methods. Jolliffe (1975) applies this dataset to illustrate his cluster-based test.
