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 rom 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. } \source{ \url{http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/ftp/sas/vcd/catdata/haireye.sas} 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). } \references{ Snee, R. D.
