Hi All,
I am making a serious effort to try to learn R, but one hurdle I am facing is that I need to
"see" the data as I walk through the examples in the packages. For instance, many
examples on the web start by a command like data("wines"). How can I actually view what
the dataset looks like prior to transformations and analysis? I have tried to use edit() , print,
and head.
In short, I know that data() lists all of the available datasets, data("wines")
will load the dataset wines, but how can I look at the raw data?
I figure this is probably an easy question, but any help you can provide will
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brock

Hi Brock,
Take a look at the summary() function and the str() function. Also try
and type the name of the dataset or use plot() on it.
data(cars)
summary(cars)
str(cars)
cars
plot(cars)
Have you read the Introduction to R [1]?
cheers,
Paul
