Hello, I am interested in R as an alternative for a statistical tool at our firm. I do know RATS an SPSS but not S+. As I read that R is close to S+, I would like to know if you could recommend me any books as an introduction to S+ or R. Best regards Marc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Marc Fohr, CFA Equity Portfolio Manager First Private Investment Management Neue Mainzer Strasse 75 D-60311 Frankfurt/Main Phone: ++49 - 69 - 2607 5424 Fax: ++49 - 69 - 2607 5440 Email: marc.fohr at first-private.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Apart from the wealth of material on "http://www.r-project.org/", my favorite book on R is Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th ed., by Venables and Ripley. hope this helps. spencer graves Fohr, Marc [AM] wrote:> Hello, > > I am interested in R as an alternative for a statistical tool at our firm.

The former lists books and other documents (some online) that serve as excellent introductions, while the latter helps to differentiate R and S/S+. Spending some time with those references and the R FAQs will serve as a good foundation, with keyword searches of the R-help list archive serving as an additional strong resource. HTH, Another Marc
