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. I did so using>install.packages("UsingR"). However, the functions such as"simple.freqpoly.R" do not work. I also tried to install the Simple_0.4.zip available by the author, but I get the following message: Error in gzfile(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: cannot open compressed file 'Simple/DESCRIPTION' I should also note that I use windows XP and the latest R version. Any suggestions?
