Hi, I have good understanding on Econometrics and statistical techniques. However, I am new to R. What would be the best way to learn R as I would be one of the few in my team started exploring R in your team. I have got a few downloads on R introduction, but I am not a FAN of online reading. Can some one guide me with some books on R and statistical models using R. Sincere thanks.... And Apologies if this thread was already available... Couldn't get in search.... Best, Kishore/..

You might also like to take a look at other books on that page to see if any suit your knowledge/level/needs. Also, don't forget the user contributed documentation: http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html G -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ UK.

In addition to the other excellent examples already given, I maintain a list of resources for newcomers to R here: http://www.revolution-computing.com/community/resources.php#TOC-Resources-for-Newcomers-to-R I can also suggest this blog category (which will grow further with time): http://blog.revolution-computing.com/beginner-tips/ # David Smith On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 9:09 PM, Kishore <gladikishore at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, > I have good understanding on Econometrics and statistical techniques. > However, I am new to R.
