Examples
I have tried to provide many unique examples in this book, illustrating how to use different functions in R. I deliberately decided to use new and original examples, and not to rely on the data sets included with R. When I’m trying to solve a problem, I try to find examples of similar solutions. There are already good examples for many functions in the R help files. I tried to provide new examples to help users figure out how to solve their problems quickly. The examples are available from O’Reilly Media at http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596801700.
Additionally, the example data is also available through CRAN as
an R package. To install the nutshell
package, type the following command on the R console:
install.packages("nutshell")
