contains a selection of example datasets which can be used for testing out and playing with R functions.
You can get a list of all available datasets by running data()
in a console. Each dataset is available by default in a variable the name of which is outputted in data()
, e.g. AirPassengers

.
A summary of the data can be generated using the R function summary
