Hi !! Is there a good tutorial for the R language ? I really find it hard to find methods in R. Thanks and Cheers ../Murli
An Introduction to R is pretty good (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf). And there are many others available at http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html -roger T.

There are a number of resources but I believe the best for starters is _Introductory Statistics with R_, by Peter Dalgaard. It's inexpensive ($35) and very well written, easy to read and understand even if you don't know a lot of statistics. In fact the book's intention is to teach you stats by way of R, so you get a "Two-fer." If you can only have one book, get this one. Now, if your level of statistical sophistication is a bit further along then the book is Venables and Ripley, _Modern Applied Statistics with S_. But if you are just starting out, and you want to learn R the easy way (learning by doing), then get Dalgaard. It's a great book. Charles Annis, P.E.

There are quite a few helpful free contributions--under contributed go figure-- on the R site. "Using R for Data Analysis and Graphics" by John Maindonald (PDF [702kB], data sets and scripts are available at JM's homepage). I found this a big help( Thanks to John Maindonald) as well as trying to solve some problems on the help list and seeing how the "pros" do it properly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "T.
