I apologize in advance for posting a question not related to R. I need references to papers that use multiple linear regression in an industrial application and also in a biological experiment. This is aimed to biologists/chemists (non-statisticans) so if anyone has written a brilliant paper where the use of multiple regression is important and also understandable to people with little

Dear All, With a colleague we are writing a paper where we show how R is a very nice tool to deal with some issues in the analyses of data in evolutionary biology. For the intro, I wonder if 1) Anybody has any rough idea of how many people might be using R or how many people have downloaded R, or similar (I am aware answering this question might require divinatory powers...). 2) Have/are any of you using R in papers in the biological sciences (specially e...
