[R] Importing a CSV file

[MacQueen, Don]

I think you must have given the path to the file wrong.

Assuming you are using R.app, try

  infile <- file.choose()

And then give infile to the read.csv() function.

Then print the value of infile to find out what the path really is.

Probably, you wanted
  '/Users/sezginozcan/Downloads/beer.data.csv'
