Add R package port of ucimlrepo

[coatless]

Hi 👋

Thanks for making available the Python variant to download data sets off of the UCI ML Repo.

I took a moment to port of the existing code functions into an R package that you can access here:

https://github.com/coatless-rpkg/ucimlrepo

Would it be possible to create a mono repo that includes both the R and Python versions of the package? Also, would you be okay with adding an R data import tab to the website?

Demo

Install the R ucimlrepo package

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("coatless-rpkg/ucimlrepo")

Import the dataset into your code

library(ucimlrepo)
  
# fetch dataset 
iris <- fetch_ucirepo(id = 53) 
  
# data (as R dataframe) 
X <- iris$data$features 
y <- iris$data$targets 
  
# metadata 
print(iris$metadata) 
  
# variable information 
print(iris$variables)
