I just noticed that the faraway package on CRAN contains the stat500 dataset so you can just install that in the usualy way, rather than googling around for faraway.zip .

It can be used to illustrate similar concepts. A google search for faraway.zip will locate the actual data. --- Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2004 10:37:08 -0800 From: Ann Loraine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ Add to Address Book | Block Address | Report as Spam ] To: rhelp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [R] father and son heights 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!
