I am surprised David failed to comment on your choice of variable name. "sd" is
an extremely commonly-used function, and defining a variable with that name
will make it difficult for you to use that function. "data" is another common
function. Some safer options would be "dta" or "sdata". If in doubt, try typing
the potential variable name alone at the R input line before defining it
yourself. If you get an error, then you shouldn't have a name collision (at
least with the core and other packages you have loaded at the time).
