In developing the package, I have associated datasets (*.rda) stored in the data sub-directory. I built and installed the package successfully.
When I load the BowRiver dataset and USArrests > data(BowRiver) > data(USArrests) > ls() [1] "data" "USArrests" Why is mine stored as "data" and not "BowRiver"? -----Original Message----- From: Sarah Goslee [mailto:sarah.gos...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 1:18 PM To: Hutchinson,David [PYR] Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Creating datasets in packages The key question: > > What am I doing wrong? We don't know what you _did_. How did you save the data? Did you follow the directions in the Writing R Extensions manual? Does ls() show the dataset? etc. You can "access the dataset from data" - do you mean that you can load the data directly from the data directory within your package? How?
