Data set 'FA' not found in the drc package

Question

I've been reading the drc paper and on page six, it has the following commands:

> library(drc)    
> data(FA)

However, I get the following error

In data(FA): data set 'FA' not found

Where can I get the FA data set?

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comments in @Jack's answer, you can retrieve the FA dataset from the old package version, but you can still use the latest version of the package.

1. Download version 0.8-2 of the drc package from the archive web-page ;
2. Unzip the package and go to the directory data ;
3. Copy the file FA.rda to somewhere sensible;
4. Now use the following command: load("FA.rda")

5. This gives the data set on page 6 of the paper, ie

    R> FA[1:5,] MEANLR MM 1 7.580 0 2 8.000 0 3 8.329 0 4 7.250 0 5 7.375 0 

Answer 2

A preliminary search of the documentation for the drc library reveals no data set called FA . My advice would be to contact the authors of the paper to see if they can provide you with the data set.
