Making data in R available to Rcmdr
Dear Todd,
-----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of ToddE Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 5:57 PM To: r-help at r-project.org Subject: [R] Making data in R available to Rcmdr I'm an R newbie. I'm trying to use Rcmdr to make a 3-D scatterplot of data from a two-independent-variable regression and of the regression plane. The object "dat" in R contains the data:
print(dat[1:20,])
y x1 x2 1 431.69 76.40 132.80 Rcmdr "knows" about dat. If I click Data, New data set, and enter the name dat, Rcmdr won't let me use that name. I get this message: "Data set dat already exists. Overwrite data set?" However, I don't know how to make dat the active data set in Rcmdr. Is that possible?
"Data -> New data set" allows you to enter a new data set in the R data editor; it doesn't give you access to a data set that's currently in memory. Assuming that dat is a data frame (and that it really has more than just one line), you can access it either via "Data -> Active data set -> Select active data set", or by clicking the "No active dataset" button in the Rcmdr toolbar. I hope this helps, John ----------------------------------------------- John Fox Senator McMaster Professor of Social Statistics Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Sorry if this is too basic. Can't find an answer in "Getting Started With the R Commander" or on this list. Todd -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Making-data- in-R-available-to-Rcmdr-tp4640672.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
