Dear Molly, Is the package in which the data is stored loaded in the Rmd? If not try
library(yourPackage) data(yourData) or data(yourData, package = "yourPackage") If this doesn't solve your problem, please provide a minimal reproducible example of the problem.

R version: 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) RStudio version: 0.98.1091 MacOS X Yosemite v. 10.10.1 When I run the following in the console, all is well: data(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19) Yet, when I compile in my .Rmd file, in RStudio (knit to PDF), I get the following error: Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection Calls: <Anonymous> ... withVisible -> eval -> eval -> read.delim -> read.table -> file Execution halted From what I have read, this could be alleviated by pointing the the source file for data(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19) as opposed to LazyLoading with the data() function. Yet, I’m not sure how to work around this. (This is my first R project ever) The data(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19) is just loading an annotation file from library(IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19), and I’m not sure of the file type the data are stored under (.txt, .csv, etc). Thanks in advance!
