ABSTRACT

This chapter shows how to get data into the R Commander from a variety of sources, including entering data directly at the keyboard, reading data from a plain-text file, accessing data stored in an R package, and importing data from an Excel or other spreadsheet, or from other statistical software. I also explain how to save and export R data sets from the R Commander, and how to modify data-for example, how to create new variables and how to subset the active data set.
