Hi, I just downloaded R, and am wondering about data sources.
Where do people typically get their data for analysis? It seems to me most people would have their data somehow automatically gathered and stored in an SQL database (e.g. MySQL), but this seems not to be the case. Does everyone just use the plain-text tab-separated values format? If so, how are these tables typically created in the first place? I store a lot of data automatically in MySQL databases--is there another good way of aggregating data for statistical analysis that I might be unaware of? Thank you, Rex ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
