R help - Jun 2009 - please recommend hands-on books on classification, data-mining and machine learning with R?

Hi all,

Could anybody please recommend some hands-on books on classification,
data-mining and machine learning with R? I would like to get a very
good understanding of the statistical tools that are used in these
areas, while reducing the learning curve.

Thank you!

Seriously?

You are overfishing the common pool, bro.

Most of the times it is advisable to get a good book about the statistical
concepts (multivariate statistics or data-mining) and another good book about
the programming language (R), if you have an idea how the concepts work, it is
really easy to combine.

Gabor Grothendieck's reply to you at 1:45pm was also good advice...
