Load dataset and get details
For this exercise, you are going to load the abalone
dataset in the native R
native binary format .RData
using the load()
function. You will use the ls()
command before and after loading the dataset to confirm that the abalone
dataset was loaded to your global environment. This is similar to working with the WORK library in SAS. You can learn more about both of these functions using the help()
command.
