Data sets from Moore and McCabe, sixth edition

To use within R, one can download the entire set of data sets into a session as follows:

read in Moore and McCabe Data sets
readMM <- function() {   x <- "http://bcs.whfreeman.com/ips6e/content/cat030/PCText.zip"   setwd(tempdir())   download.file(x, "mm.zip")   unzip("mm.zip", junkpaths=TRUE)   l <- Sys.glob("*.txt")   l <- gsub("\.txt, ", l)   out <- sapply(l, function(i) {     print(sprintf("reading %s", i))     try(read.table(paste(i, ".txt", sep=""), header=T), silent=TRUE)   })   out <- out[!sapply(out, is, "try-error")]   sapply(names(out), function(i) {   assign(i, out[[i]], .GlobalEnv)   })   invisible() }
readMM() 

(Just copy and paste the above into an R session)
