Dear all
How does one resolve the variance between the actual availability of data
sets in the default implementation with those mentioned in the
documentation?
I am unable to attach some of the datasets, even though help() is available
for the same datasets. For example, "ToothGrowth" is a dataset that is
widely mentioned in the documentation as being part of the base install.
help("ToothGrowth") does bring up help.
However, the dataset is missing from the install as I'm unable to attach()
it. (An aside: why is the data() command silent on a missing dataset ?
data("ToothGrowth") is silent, whereas attach("ToothGrowth") fails loudly).
Where can I locate and integrate the missing datasets into my base install?
Just type
ToothGrowth
and you will see the data.
In case you really want to attach it (which I really do not recommend), use
attach(ToothGrowth)
without any quotes, since you do not want to attach a file with that
name but the object.
