I am getting an error message when trying to load this data. Any ideas why please?

load("Reisby.Rdata")

> load("Reisby.Rdata")
Error in readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) :
  cannot open compressed file 'Reisby.Rdata', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

The error message gives you the hint: there is no such file in the current directory. Either you have the name wrong or it's in a different directory than your working directory.

Hi,

The data you're looking for belongs to the spida15 package. You need to install this first from GitHub then load it.

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("gmonette/spida15")

data(Riesby)

Or you can just grab the file itself from GitHub if that's all you need
https://github.com/gmonette/spida15/blob/master/data/Riesby.rda

load("Riesby.rda")

Hope this helps,
PJ
