R help - Jun 2006 - Books

Dears, 

I saw in the R-project site some R-books. However, I'm new in this
community and I didn't figure out what are the best books. 

Can you suggest me some "reference" books? My intentions with R is
concerned to Artificial Intelligence simulations, Classification and
general Statistics (e.g., regression, multivariate regression, etc). 

Thanks for any help, Anderson

Dear Anderson,

I'd highly recommend "Modern Applied Statistics with S" (4th Ed.,
by WN
Venables & BD Ripley). This has lots and lots of material on the topics of
your interest. 

Best wishes

Paul

Four books:

- Introductory Statistics with R by Peter Daalgard
- Modern Applied Statistics with S by Venables and Ripley
- Data Analysis and Graphics Using R by Maindonald and Braun
another very useful introductory book is
- Statistics, an Introduction using R by Crawley

You may also want to track down a hard copy of the R manuals.  It comes free 
along with R, but the pdf is almost 1400 pages long, so it can be worthwhile 
having someone else do the printing and binding.
