I'm working my way up the learning curve for R. A method of learning I find very effective is to work through an existing program. Are there any libraries or archives of R programs on the web ? If not, would this be a good idea for the R website ? I hope this is not a FAQ: I have checked as far as I can. Best Wishes, Martin Holt

Well, you could try googleing for CRAN and its mirrors; each CRAN archive
contains over six hundred contributed packages all of which contain examples
for R. Each of which is only one command away from you for use and
inspection.
And your R installation itself has thousands of functions each with
examples. Try

R comes with six manuals that come with it, and a FAQ document.

The FAQ lists several books on R. CRAN and its mirrors host several free
books in pdf form.
Lastly, some Google scores:
'R example' 140 million hits
'R examples' 78 million hits
'R example code' 63 million hits
Hope this helps, Dirk

Typing the function name at the prompt prints that body of the function. By working thrugh the steps in the boot function, helped me both understand the way the bootstrap works and write better R code.

In addition to what others have said go the R home page, and under Documentation on the left hand side click on Other and look at that plus from that page click on Contributed Documents which is a link on that page. Also this has lots of code: http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/Rtips.html On 1/28/06, Martin P. Holt <theholts at care4free.net> wrote:> I'm working my way up the learning curve for R.
