I've made a package from some benchmark datasets for use with R and uploaded it to CRAN. Here's the Index entry: mlbench-0.1.tar.gz: A collection of artificial and real-world machine learning benchmark problems, including, e.g., the boston housing data from the UCI repository. Written/packaged by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch at ci.tuwien.ac.at> Original data sets from various sources. [1997/06/09] This (naturally) includes some data files ... hence you have to do some parts of the installation manually, see the INSTALL file for details (IMHO R has no clear concept for data: one flat directory is certainly not sufficient). R&R: Any news on this front? Best, Fritz
