I'm trying to load a dataset into R, but I'm completely lost. This is
probably due mostly to the fact that I'm a complete R newb, but it's got me
stuck in a research project.
I've tried just opening the text file in WordPad and copying the data
directly into R, but it's too big and causes the program to crash.
Any suggestions or assistance? I'm kinda desperate and lost.
Yes, you are lost. The R posting guide is at
http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html and will point you to the
right list and also the manuals (at e.g.
http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html, and one of them seems exactly
what you need).
BTW, 'large dataset' is meaningless: when I asked a class of Statistics
PhD students the answers differed by 7 orders of magnitude.
