Consider adding Du Bois Data about histdata HOT 6 OPEN

Yes, I would be thrilled to have some of these datasets in the HistData package. I've followed your work and looked at some of your decksh repos. But now I'll have another look at the new repo.

OK, I had a look. There is indeed a separate data.csv file for each plate, and this would not work within the structure of the HistData package, where the primary emphasis is on more comprehensive data sets that can be approached in different ways. In a few cases, e.g., Snow's data on cholera, I had to create Snow.deaths, Snow.pumps, Snow..., but generally these are for a single kind of analysis / graphic.

There is certainly merit in making DuBois' data available in an R package, to encourage wider exploration of his graphics.
I'll begin to think about how this could be done, and what a DuBos package might look like.

What is you use R to import the csv ?

I have no problem importing CSV files. The problem is that there is a different data file for each graphic, so it would make more sense to create a separate DuBois package. I'm willing to work on this if you are willing to lend a hand.

First, I would need a relatively complete set of the data files, cued to the DuBois catalog. I think Anthony Stark has these for the DuBois challenge.
