Dear R users, I'd like to announce a workshop on R, entitled "The R Statistical Computing Environment: The Basics and Beyond," which I'll be teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, from August 6 through 9. Held under the auspices of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research, the workshop is aimed at new users of R but, as its title implies, it will go beyond a basic introduction to R. More information is available on the ICPSR web site at <http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/courses/0147>. Thank you for your attention, John ------------------------------------------------ John Fox Sen.
