\title{Hair and Eye Color of Statistics Students}
\description{
  Distribution of hair and eye color and sex in 592 statistics students.
}
\usage{HairEyeColor}
\format{
  A 3-dimensional array resulting from cross-tabulating 592 observations
  on 3 variables.  The variables and their levels are as follows:

  \tabular{rll}{
    No \tab Name \tab Levels \cr
    1 \tab Hair \tab Black, Brown, Red, Blond \cr
    2 \tab Eye \tab Brown, Blue, Hazel, Green \cr
    3 \tab Sex \tab Male, Female
  }
}
\details{
  The Hair \eqn{\times}{x} Eye table comes from a survey of students at
  the University of Delaware reported by Snee (1974).  The split by
  \code{Sex} was added by Friendly (1992a) for didactic purposes.

  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.

  Snee (1974) gives the two-way table aggregated over \code{Sex}.  The
  \code{Sex} split of the \sQuote{Brown hair, Brown eye} cell was
  changed to agree with that used by Friendly (2000).
