Files fail to load

[ronybtl]

Dear Sir,

The following files failed to load in R

1. gapminder.rda
2. addhealth.rda

Error message "Error in load("GAPMINDER.RDA") :
bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded
In addition: Warning message:
file ‘GAPMINDER.RDA’ has magic number ''
Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated "

Kindly advise. Thanks.

Have you 1) installed and 2) loaded the PDS package with library(PDS)? If so, you should be able to simply type the names of a particular dataset at the R prompt. Do note that R is case sensitive and that the names of the datasets you referenced are:

gapminder not GAPMINDER
and
AddHealth not addhealth for wave 1.

Hope that helps.
