Dear all:
I am totally new to R, actually, statistics software.I get two very
simple, even stupid question:
1) where I should put the data file in order to use it , I tried to build
a
work dir in library( package:base) and save the text file (data) there,

I'm not sure where such a work directory might be, but it sounds like you need to show a TA what you did.


It sounds like you need to carefully read the FAQ.

help.start()

the follow the "Frequently Asked Questions" link, and (if you're using R on windows) the "FAQ for Windows Port"

then, I use read.table(filename), not work; I tried the full path, still
not work. I must have done something wrong.

Quite likely. But without more details, there's no way to say more. There isn't only one way to make a mistake, so there isn't one answer to "it didn't work".


Read the FAQ. It really does help. Read it carefully, and not in a frame of mind where you're saying to yourself "I'll never understand this, this can't possibly help." You will, it can.

2) is it possible to create a data file in R instead of put data in a txt
file and then save the file under R?

Yes, after you've got a grip on the above. *After* the above is clear, read the help pages for "save" and "load".


Read the FAQ.

I tried to find answer from the introduction, failed.

But not the FAQ, presumably.


I really appreciate your help, thank you very much.

No problem. By the way, read the FAQ.


Cheers

Jason
