Last line of R code at the bottom of the page |
The line of R code:
suburbs[ c(1, 3)]
should be:
suburbs[ c(1, 4)]
Column 4 contains the population numbers, Column 3 contains the state abbreviations.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Erratum report is correct. Somehow, the R code and its related output are mismatched. (I'm not clear how this happened. Cut-and-paste error, perhaps?) The example must be corrected.
The relevant recipe is "Selecting Data Frame Columns by Position". |

4th line from the bottom |
The line:
cor.test(x, y, method="Spearman")
should be:
cor.test(x, y, method="spearman")
R is case sensitive, so using "Spearman" (initial caps) doesn't work.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Erratum report is correct. In the text, replace "Spearman" with "spearman" in R code. |

4th line from the Bottom |
The line:
Use method="Spearman" when working ...
should be:
Use method="spearman" when working ...
R is case sensitive, so trying to pass "Spearman" (with initial caps) as the method won't work.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Erratum report is correct. Text should say "spearman", not "Spearman". |

7th, 6th, and 2nd line from bottom |
The function:
outlier.test
has been deprecated. It should be replaced by:
outlierTest
Note from the Author or Editor:
Erratum report is correct. Recipe should be changed/rewritten to use "outlierTest" function since outlier.test function is not obsolete. |
