[Oaxaca package] Can´t acces to data("chicago") to replicate example.

General
1

Hi all. I'm fairly new R and looking to use the oaxaca-blinder decomposition. After i installed the oaxaca package as seen in Hlavac With the package installed when i try to use de data("chicago") i recieved the message:

data("chicago")
Warning message:
In data("chicago") : data set ‘chicago’ not found

Using library("oaxaca") shows this:

library("oaxaca")
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘oaxaca’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
there is no package called ‘ggplot2’
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘oaxaca’ was built under R version 3.5.3

I use install.packages("ggplot2") and still Chicago data is not found. I don't know how to proceed. My intention is just to be able to replicate that example.

Thanks.

Try cutting and pasting the following

Hi, thank you for you reply. I paste this and still the data is not available. (oaxaca and ggplot2 packages ara installed)

library(oaxaca)

What happens with?

library(ggplot2)

Hi. library(ggplot2) shows this with package installed.

Error in library("ggplot2") : there is no package called ‘ggplot2’

If it's installed, you should be able to confirm with this snippet

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, colour = class)) + 
  geom_point()

If not,

install.packages("ggplot2")

Interesting. I've been using :

install.packages("ggplot2")

Showing this:

But the snippet is not working , the result is :

Error in library(ggplot2) : there is no package called ‘ggplot2’

So, looks like its not installing anything?
Thanks.

That's right. Installation failed:

is the obscure message that indicates this. Again, I can't help with why this occurs under Windows.

You are getting old package versions because you are installing binaries on a very old R version. For getting the latest package versions either install from source or even better, update R so you can get access to the latest precompiled binaries.
