Damor, Bhavika. (2019). Comparison of uniformity trial data with experimental data for plot technique. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND. https://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810169594 Has data for 3 uniformity trials, but the data look strange. For example, in Appendix III, there are some plots along the left edge that are measured to 3 decimals (0.993, 0.631), but most of the field is measured to 2 decimals. In Appendix I, there are 500 numbers but only about 9 of them have “4” in the hundredths place. We would expect to see 50. It could be that the data were collected in non-kg weights and then converted to kg. It could be that the html-viewer is not rendering the document correctly, but there is no way to download the original pdf.
