Yes, you were right, I did not load the library. Now it works. I just installed R yesterday and I am still trying hard: for sure I will come back for more input! Thank you:)
-----Original Message----- From: Phil Spector [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: February 15, 2007 2:57 PM To: Irene Mantzouni Subject: Re: [R] simpleR or usingR package by Verzani Irene - After installing a library, you need to use the library command in order to make it available in the current session: library(UsingR) Once you do that, you can see the names of the functions and data sets that are available by typing objects('package:UsingR') There you will see that the function you mentioned is called "simple.freqpoly" -- in other words, the ".R" that you added to the end of the function name is not necessary. Hope this helps. - Phil Spector Statistical Computing Facility Department of Statistics UC Berkeley [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Irene Mantzouni wrote: > I am a new R user and so I thought I could start with "Using R for > Introductory statistics" by Verzani. > In order to use some of the functions and datasets I have to install > the simpleR package which is is now inside the UsingR package.
