The authors of the textbook for AMAT-554, Introduction to Mathematical Statistics 8e, provide some R data files for use with exercises and examples in the book. These data files are provided as an R package (hmcpkg). Unfortunately this package is not compiled for the current revision of R, and generates an error when installing.
install.packages("hmcpkg")
Installing package into 'C:/Users/me/somewhere/R/win-library/4.1'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning message:
package 'hmcpkg' is not available for this version of R
The data files are also available for download via a URI provided in the textbook’s preface. The archive is in tar format. I have repackaged the tar file as a zip file and posted links to both, below.
tarball: hmcdata.tar.gz
zipfile: hmcdata.zip
These files can easily be loaded into an R session. Go to the filesystem location where you unpacked the data file archive and load it:
> setwd("C:/Users/me/somewhere/hmcdata/Data")
> load(file="darwin.rda")
> darwin

If you save your R session (when prompted to do so) these data structures will be saved as well!
