Hi, I am new to R (I have most of my experience in SAS and SPSS). I was wondering if anyone has used both Resampling Stats and R, and could comment on strengths/relationships.

Hi List, I had the pleasure of taking Dr Bob Muenchen's interview for his upcoming book R For SAS and SPSS users. He has spent 27 years in this field while I have spent almost that much on earth.

Dear Group, I am an economics student starting with PhD work in London. As preparation I would like to get to know R a little bit better. For Stata there are tons of books, however, can you recommend a book for R? I have some substantiated econometrics knowledge, so it should be more a how-to book.
