Re. (2), among the shorter documents, "The R Guide" by Jason Owen looks quite attractive for people at a very basic level of statistical knowledge (matrix calculus is assumed in some sections, though). However, these documents cover a wide range of target audiences, so you should look at all of them and calibrate against your group. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ?ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.

I got started with the book by Venables and Ripley 'Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus'. If you will be working with the Windows version (unbelievably easy to install) you will also find helpful material in the help file.

If you are not afraid by exoticism, this web site http://www.kb.u-psud.fr/acces-etudiant/cours/biostat/Biostat.htm is a French speaking multimedia online tutorial to R...

For real newbies like myself , good tutorial are had to find, and much of the
documentation is completelly opaque at first. :) However I would recommend
http://www.math.ilstu.edu/dhkim/Rstuff/Rtutor.html as a good place to start with
real basics. It is a bit like the Sample session in the Intro to R but I found
it a bit more user friendlyl.
Another source that I have just found is
http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Rtips.html which has some good basic stuff but it is
not a tutorial.

Subject: [R] online tutorials
I work for a Investment group with a very extensive training program and
we are having our new hires take a statistics course at University of
Chicago where they have to complete some assignments with R. I was
wondering if there are any online tutorials that exist where we could
get our participants comfortable with R before the class itself? I
appreciate any help at all.
Thanks,
