MASS Library
Hi, I was just trying out an example on Page 247 of the MASS (Modern Applied Statistics with S-plus) book and saw the function "negexp.ival". It says it is supplied in the MASS library, however when I load the library in R and typed: negexp.ival it says: Error: Object "negexp.ival" not found Does it mean it only appears in the MASS library for S-plus?
