Examples

data(Fertilizer)

# simple plots
plot(Fertilizer, col=c('red', rep("blue",7)), 
     cex=c(2,rep(1.2,7)), 
     pch=as.character(1:8))

# A biplot shows the data in 2D. It gives another view of how case 1 stands out in data space
biplot(prcomp(Fertilizer))

# fit the mlm
mod <- lm(cbind(grain, straw) ~ fertilizer, data=Fertilizer)
