R help - Aug 2006 - new version of "The R Guide" available on CRAN

Hello,

Version 2.2 of "The R Guide" is available for download in
the Contributed Documents section on CRAN.  "The R Guide"
is written for the beginning R user.  I use the guide in my
undergraduate probability and math stat sequence, but anyone
with a basic understanding of statistics (who wants to learn
R) should find it useful.

This updated version includes sections on multiple comparisons,
optimization, along with some improvements suggested by fellow
R users from around the world.  The entire document is under
60 pages in length.

Hi,

thanks for this.  I'll keep it in mind next time in teaching/referring
someone to R.  BTW, before the R-core guys get you ;)   Just replace
all places where you use "library" to refer to a "package"
(see all
comments on the definition of these on r-help/r-devel), e.g.

Page 17: "FYI, .GlobalEnv is your workspace and the package quantities
are libraries that contain (among other things) the functions and
datasets that we are learning about in this manual."

Cheers

Henrik
