Hi!

Here is some output from an str command:

str(CO2)
Classes ‘nfnGroupedData’, ‘nfGroupedData’, ‘groupedData’ and
'data.frame':      84 obs. of  5 variables:
$ Plant : Ord.factor w/ 12 levels "Qn1"<"Qn2"<"Qn3"<..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2
2 2 ...
$ Type : Factor w/ 2 levels "Quebec","Mississippi": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
...
$ Treatment: Factor w/ 2 levels "nonchilled","chilled": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
...
$ conc     : num  95 175 250 350 500 675 1000 95 175 250 ...

- attr(*, "formula")=Class 'formula' length 3 uptake ~ conc | Plant
 .. ..- attr(*, ".Environment")=<environment: R_EmptyEnv>
- attr(*, "outer")=Class 'formula' length 2 ~Treatment * Type
 .. ..- attr(*, ".Environment")=<environment: R_EmptyEnv>
- attr(*, "labels")=List of 2
 ..$ x: chr "Ambient carbon dioxide concentration"
 ..$ y: chr "CO2 uptake rate"
- attr(*, "units")=List of 2
 ..$ x: chr "(uL/L)"
 ..$ y: chr "(umol/m^2 s)"

What do the nfnGroupdata, nfGroupdata mean, please?

Also, what do the attr with formula and outer mean, please?

Per its help page:

help(CO2, package=datasets)

... the answer is probably in Pinheiro, J. C. and Bates, D. M. (2000) Mixed-effects Models in S and S-PLUS, Springer. Some datasets and packages are really support material for textbooks, and this appears to be one such case.


How would I find those things out without posting to the list.

Read the help page?

Do this:

??CO2
