R Dataset / Package MASS / Pima.tr
On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the Pima.tr data set which pertains to Diabetes in Pima Indian Women. The Pima.tr data set is found in the MASS R package. You can load the Pima.tr data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("Pima.tr"). This will load the data into a variable called Pima.tr. If R says the Pima.tr data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("MASS") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the Pima.tr R data set. The size of this file is about 6,247 bytes.
