rdataset

            rdataset is a collection of 597 datasets that were originally distributed
alongside the statistical software environment "R" and some of its add-on
packages.

Datasets which are available in R can be used in Scilab with rdataset. The
toolbox needs around 50 MByte.

In R:


> library(MASS)
>print(mean(survey$Wr.Hnd,na.rm=TRUE),digits=17)                                
                                       
 [1] 18.669067796610168

The same can be done in Scilab


[data,desc] = rdataset_read("MASS","survey");

mean_hand=mean(thrownan(data.Wr_Hnd))

mean_hand  =
 
    18.669068

disp(18.669067796610168-mean_hand)
