Aside from An Introduction to R by W. N. Venables, D. M. Smith (the PDF is free), what would people recommend as a good starter book? I was thinking of introductory Statistics with R by Peter Dalgaard. Any thoughts?? My knowledge of Stats is stale and the primary use of R is for time series analysis. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Jonathan jqm475 at gmail.com

Dear List I just downloaded and installed R 2.12.0 and then installed R Commander . First it got RCmdr and Car, and then suggested for other packages for utilizing the full functionality- I clicked yes! I got 140 packages installed!!! Cran Mirror was UCLA... Here is the list. Is this intentional- I can see some packages like snow and multicore which are desirable but quite optional.(see list

Dear all, I've recently switched from EViews to R with RMetrics/fSeries (newest version of july 10) for my analysis because of the much bigger flexibility it offers. So far my experiences had been great -prior I had already worked extensively with S-Plus so was already kind of familiar with the language- until I got to the fSeries package. My problem with the documentation of fSeries is that

Hi folks! Does anybody know how to use the OLS function in fMultivar to do dynamic regression? I've tried specifying lags in OLS using a data series created in fSeries and it doesn't seem to work. I've done dynamic regression using dyn$lm and I was wondering how to accomplish the same thing using the OLS function from fMultivar. Thanks! John [[alternative HTML version

Coming up to speed on both R and S-Plus. My access to S-Plus will end soon so I want to get up to speed on R. The big initial difference seems that R has only the command editor where S-Plus also has a windows interface. My preference is to learn the language and the windows interface doesn't really do the trick. My question is, if one uses the windows interface for some functions, is there
