[SPAM?] Re: Data Package Query

Unfortunately, i have no variable called "data". The below is the
syntax i am running:
data(trial)
fit<-logistf(data=trial, y=x1+x2+x3)

Sorry for the disturbance.

Regards!

"data" is a base function (so you should not have to load any

packages to use it), and it is not capitalized. Depending on the
particular data set you want the data function to load, you may need to
load the package that contains that data set.

A common error by beginners (which may or may not be your problem in

this case) is to create a variable called "data". Unfortunately this
hides the function named "data" and from that time forward that R
session doesn't work when you type example code that uses the data
function. If this is your problem, the best solution is to restart R
and do your analysis from the beginning using a different variable name
than "data". (This is why keeping your working code in a separate text
file is standard operating procedure.)

Note that I am guessing here... the Posting Guide asks you to give a

reproducible example so we don't have to guess what you have done.

Hello,

When i type in the below syntax:
Data (name of the data set)

I get an error message specifying that the "data" package is not

found.

Please note that i installed all packages having the word "data" 
included in them and loaded all these packages.

Please advice.

Regards!
