\title{Death Rates in Virginia (1940)}
\description{
  Death rates per 100 in Virginia in 1940.
}
\usage{data(VADeaths)}
\format{A matrix with 5 rows and 5 columns.}
\details{
  The death rates are cross-classified by age group (rows) and
  population group (columns).  The age groups are: 50--54, 55--59,
  60--64, 65--69, 70--74 and the population groups are Rural/Male,
  Rural/Female, Urban/Male and Urban/Female.

  This provides a rather nice 3-way analysis of variance example.
