Since this is about R, can anyone please tell me how to get the following package - https://docs.tibco.com/pub/enterprise-runtime-for-R/6.1.1/do...


My guess is you buy it from Tibco. It sounds like it is part of their enterprise R distribution.

Do you have reason to believe it is open-source/free ?


I recognize the majority of those datasets as being included in the base `datasets` package. Are there differences you’re looking for?


Yeah, where is lottery


There's a copy of the dataset at http://www.math.ntu.edu.tw/~hchen/Prediction/timeseries1.htm...

There is lottery.number, lottery.payoff, lottery2, lottery3. Further info is provided in the 1988 book The new S language: a programming environment for data analysis and graphics by Becker, Chambers & Wilks.


Yeah, I started to read that book, then looked into R installation on my machine, but felt sorry not finding those datasets


I even installed S-PLUS 8.0 in order to look for this - but Sdatasets doesn't seem to have been shipped in the base install. If anyone knows...


Yeah.. I believe this is to run R embedded in Tibco Spotfire (like Tableau or other BI software). We used to use this to pull and sanitize our data from our data warehouse into dataframes and then create our spotfire templates to run via webplayer.
