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?

I think the name of what you want is simple.freqpoly() Try: library(UsingR) ?simple.freqpoly HTH, Rob Baer I am a new R user and so I thought I could start with "Using R for Introductory statistics" by Verzani.

Yes, you were right, I did not load the library. Now it works. I just installed
R yesterday and I am still trying hard: for sure I will come back for more
input!
Thank you:)

Irene -
After installing a library, you need to use the library command in order to
make it available in the current session:
library(UsingR)
Once you do that, you can see the names of the functions and data sets that are
available by typing
objects('package:UsingR')
There you will see that the function you mentioned is called
"simple.freqpoly" -- in other words, the ".R" that you added
to the end of the function name is not necessary.
Hope this helps.
