R help - Feb 2024 - Help

Regarding 1 and 2, please read the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of
every R-help post. R does not equal statistics... and education about statistics
is way too ambitious to include in this mailing list that is about a tool that
happens to be useful for statisticians.

There are forums online that do cater to statistical methods (e.g. Cross
Validated or many results from a search engine)... but such conversations can be
extensive so as Rolf suggests this is a good time to learn what resources your
educational institutions can provide... online forums may be too limiting when
your questions are so vague.

Lisa, this seems to be fairly straight forward to do in R and I'm happy to
help you get started. However, please be aware that you do have to have
knowledge of statistics to do the analysis/modeling.

Rolf, Jeff, I do appreciate your view that this is not a R probelm. It's
more a 'how to use R' / 'help me get started' problem. The
posting guidelines point to "Usenet groups sci.stat.consult (applied
statistics and consulting) and sci.stat.math (mathematical stat and
probability)." Since Google announced [1] that Google groups will not
support new usenet content starting tomorrow, would it make sense to have a
r-consult mailing list or tag it [consult] on r-help?

Regards, 
Joakim
