R help - Apr 2005 - (no answer)

I wish to perform brain surgery this afternoon at 4pm and don't know 
where to start.  My background is the history of great statistician 
sports legends but I am willing to learn.  I know there are courses and 
numerous books on brain surgery but I don't have the time for those. 
Please direct me to the appropriate HowTos, and be on standby for 
solving any problem I may encounter while in the operating room.  Some 
of you might ask for specifics of the case, but that would require my 
following the posting guide and spending even more time than I am 
already taking to write this note.


I will be out of the office from 1:15pm to 1:25pm today.  This 
information should be valuable to many.

Try:

help.search.google<-function (string){
    RURL = "http://www.google.com/search"
    RSearchURL = paste(RURL, "?sitesearch=r-project.org&q=",
        string, sep = "")
    browseURL(RSearchURL)
    return(invisible(0))
}

help.search.archive<-function (string){
    RURL = "http://www.google.com/u/newcastlemaths"
    RSearchURL = paste(RURL, "?q=", string, sep = "")
    browseURL(RSearchURL)
    return(invisible(0))
}

help.start()
help.search.google("brain+surgery")
help.search.archive("brain+surgery")

It seems that you have aked the wrong list: R is not for that kind of things. My
suggestion is: use SPSS: "Surgery Procedures for Statistical
Scientists": you'll almost certainly kill your patient but many surgery
journals will accept to publish your results.
