I have not been able to get my hands on much since someone has raided the local library and grabbed all the R books on long-term loan but I have found that there is some very useful material on the CRAN site under "Other" I have found An Introduction to S and the Hmisc and Design Libraries” by Carlos Alzola and Frank E. Harrell very useful as is Simple R” by John Verzani. There are also some other intro tutorials on line that might be helpful. One I found useful is http://www.math.ilstu.edu/dhkim/Rstuff/Rtutor.html I just recently got my hands on John Fox's book "An R and S-Plus Companion to Applied Regression" and it has some very useful discussions of data handling. Ch.2 and Ch.7 (on graphs) is useful. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
