When will the data used in the book be available ?

[gary-mu]

The book uses a couple of datasets for coding examples. When will they become available here?

[trejas]

Any word here?

[jpcartailler]

Yes, having access to the data is rather important.

The scripts for the book have been uploaded. The scripts are organized by chapter.
To download the data, run the script download_data.r: this pulls the data from google drive.

The scripts all assume that you have clone the repository into the top level directory.
If you save the repository elsewhere, you will need to edit the line

PSDS_PATH <- file.path('~', 'statistics-for-data-scientists')

to point to the appropriate directory in all of the scripts.

The download_data.r script assumes the presence of a /data/ directory as in ~/statistics-for-data-scientists/data/

The user could create this manually or add a line to the script to do so. Then the download process will work.

Tip: use dropbox if you manually download. The Google doc folder is missing a few files.

I had an error with download_data.r so went the manual route.

source("~/statistics-for-data-scientists/src/download_data.r")
Error in file(con, "wb") : cannot open the connection

$ diff dropbox.files googledocs.files
