as one other message says, it depends a lot on your ideas what you want to do with R. And, I'd like to add, how familiar you are with statistics. One book I am missing in your list is Venables / Ripley: Modern Applied Statistics with S. I can highly recommend it. If you are going to buy yourself only one book, then I would say: buy Venables/Ripley Best, Roland ______________________________________________ [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.
