Greetings. I'm trying to learn to program in R. (I'm definitely NOT new to programming, just to R.) A colleague suggested that I have a look at the book:
An Introduction to S and S-Plus by: Phil Spector I've glanced at the book, and it does indeed seem to be the kind of thing I wanted, but in the Introduction to the book, the author says he'll be using several example data sets throughout the book, including: 1. auto.stats 2. saving.x 3. rain.nyc1 4. state.x77 The author states: These data sets should be available as part of the standard S distribution, so you can simply refer to them as they are used in the examples. Of course I want to use R, not S. I have every "R-*" package installed on my Fedora linux system, but I can't find any of the data sets mentioned above. (The command "locate rain.nyc" produces no output, for instance.) It's entirely possible that these data sets are installed, but I just don't know enough about R to determine that. Hence, I need to help to find out if the data sets are installed, or if they CAN be installed, etc. If you can steer me in the right direction, please do so. Thanks. -- Mike ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
