Abstract: The command provides access to a large collection of datasets distributed with R or some of its packages. The collection was assembled in GitHub by Vincent Arel-Bundock, "to make these data more broadly accessible for teaching and statistical software development". The command can list the datasets available, access their online documentation, and download the data in CSV format directly from GitHub.
