Overview

About

Maintained by Harry AlexanderCRAN page ↗Website ↗

Datasets to be used primarily in conjunction with Ascent training materials but also for the book 'SAMS Teach Yourself R in 24 Hours' (ISBN: 978-0-672-33848-9). Version 1.0-7 is largely for use with the book; however, version 1.1 has a much greater focus on use with training materials, whilst retaining compatibility with the book.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ascentTraining/ascentTraining_1.0.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ascentTraining_1.0.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
