You have already had one response that interpreted "learn R" as use R to do statistics. I have a rather different interpretation of "learn R". An answer to that interpretation (learn the mechanics of the language) is: http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/hints_R_begin.html If you search the web, you are sure to find several other interpretations as well. Pick the ones that suit you. Pat On 30/05/2012 12:14, paragkulkarni11 wrote:> Hi, > What is quickest way to learn R?

If you haven't already look at Introduction to R, please follow this link "http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf". There are several books which will teach you R, please look at online retailers like Amazon, Ebay etc., Online search for specific task will also to help you to gather knowledge, what I mean is, search online for "summarize a data table in R" it will produce a lot of results and you will find different people saying different ways to get the task done which will help to learn more R coding. Hope this helps. Thanks Arun -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-learning-tp4631814p4631871.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
