Hello, I'm new to R, but it seems to work nicely for me from the start. Being a molecular biologist, I do not have a profound knowledge of statistical reasoning. I have two questions: 1) is there an other manual for R available apart from the `R-intro' document, especially one with more in-deep description of calculating basic statistics with R? ...and a more specific one: 2) Suppose I compute a regression model using the lm() function. How does one plot confidence regions for this model? Best regards, January ----)-\//-///-----------------------------------January-Weiner-3------- "You can't trample infidels when you're a tortoise.

There are also quite a few introductory books on S-PLUS around, and the information is likely to be compatible. The usual book recommendation (MASS) is probably not what you're looking for.> ...and a more specific one: > > 2) Suppose I compute a regression model using the lm() function.

According to Amazon.com, August 15. You can pre-order the book.

On that version, they are in the help system under "Help > Manuals". The books by Venables and Ripley are standard recommendations. "Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus" and "S Programming." You can also check amazon.com by searching for books on S-Plus. Since S-Plus and R are both implementations of the S language, much of the documentation for S-Plus applies to R. There is a fairly simple statistics book by Steve Selvin that uses S-Plus for the analyses. The title is "Modern Applied Biostatistical Methods Using S-Plus." Although it is a few years old, its coverage of S is mainly on programming, rather than GUI issues, so it might be useful in getting started with R. Finally, try searching the Web for "S Language" or "S-Plus" or "S" and "statistics". Best of luck!
