On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the environmental data set which pertains to Atmospheric environmental conditions in New York City . The environmental data set is found in the lattice R package. You can load the environmental data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("environmental"). This will load the data into a variable called environmental. If R says the environmental data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("lattice") and then attempt to reload the data. 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 environmental R data set. The size of this file is about 1,591 bytes.
