\description{
  Distribution of hair and eye color and sex in 592 statistics students.
}
\format{A 3-dimensional array resulting from cross-tabulating 592
  observations on 3 variables.  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{
  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.
