The “readRDS” Function in R

• Package: Base R (base package)

• Purpose: To read an R object saved in a file in the RDS (R Data Serialization) format.

• General Class: Input/Output

• Required Argument(s):

• file: A character string giving the path to the file containing the serialized R object.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example usage
  # Assume an RDS file named "data.rds" containing a serialized R object
  # Read the serialized R object into the workspace
  loaded_data <- readRDS("data.rds")
  
  # Print the loaded R object
  print(loaded_data)

• In this example, the readRDS function from the base R package is used to read a serialized R object from a file named “data.rds” into the workspace. The loaded R object (loaded_data) can then be used or printed as needed.
