Hi everybody, I'm studying descriptive statistics using R and I have to make an important work about that. I need some help to choose a good data set to apply those statistics. Does anybody know a good data set I could work with?

Much of the documentation including manuals, help files and other
contributed descriptions include same data sets.
What kinds of applications and techniques most interest you? That
with the posting guide (http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html,
especially the search at "www.r-project.org") might lead you to
suitable
examples.
hope this helps.

Hi, I'll try to be more specific asking my question. I want to apply some functions like mean(), median(), var(), sd(), mad(), quantile(), kurtosis(), skewness() and make some graphics like boxplot, barplot, histogram, stars... In order to do that I need a simple data set, simple but interesting.

There are a few packages on CRAN that are collections of data sets, some from intro textbooks. You might find some of them suitable. There are also datasets that come with R. Type data() at the R prompt to see a list. Andy> From: Talita Leite > > Hi, > > I'll try to be more specific asking my question.

You could be really classical and use the iris data! have a look at: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/DataSets the titanic dataset is a real classic one! However it depends very much what you want to study: Anne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Talita Leite" <talitaperciano at hotmail.com> To: <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 12:08 AM Subject: [R] Data Set> Hi everybody, > > I'm studying descriptive statistics using R and I have to make animportant> work about that.
