Actually, no. It's a data set that is used to teach Pearson's correlation coefficient in a popular statistics textbook - "Statistics" by Freedman, Pisani, et al.

It contains over a thousand measurements of son's and their father's heights.

I would like to find it in electronic form so that I can use it to prepare figures and examples for a lecture.

If anyone knows where I could find it, please let me know. I've done a few Google searches but haven't had any luck so far. I also used the data() command to look through R's built-in data sets and couldn't find it. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Yours,

Ann Loraine

Do you have this data set in any form? If yes, do you have it in any electronic form? If yes, have you tried following relevant suggestions in the manual on "R Data Import/Export"? [I got this as a hot link from within R 1.8.1 "help.start()".]

     hope this helps.

Hello,


I'm looking for Pearson's father and son height data.

Is this data set available in R?

Thanks!
