RobertTalbert commented 2 years ago

Chapter 13 of the book uses the dummies package, but there is an error when loading it: 

  package ‘dummies’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

It looks like the package has simply been removed: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dummies/index.html

Thank you for letting us know, Robert! That's too bad that dummies has been removed from CRAN. We're planning on updating the book and will use another package. Appreciate it!
