### Examples

    ## One factor ANOVA example from Dobson's book, cf. Table 7.4:
    require(stats); require(graphics)
    boxplot(weight ~ group, data = PlantGrowth, main = "PlantGrowth data",
            ylab = "Dried weight of plants", col = "lightgray",
            notch = TRUE, varwidth = TRUE)
    anova(lm(weight ~ group, data = PlantGrowth))
