datasets

Provides additional data sets, methods and documentation
        to complement the vcd package for Visualizing Categorical Data
        and the gnm package for Generalized Nonlinear Models. In
        particular, vcdExtra extends mosaic, assoc and sieve plots from
        vcd to handle glm() and gnm() models and adds a 3D version in
        mosaic3d.
