Re: [R-sig-teaching] R texts

I have found the R Book very useful as it have the same general approach throughout the entire book. Most of the free articles do not share this property. Each have it's own approach. This may be fruitful (plenty of diffrent approaches) but is confusing for the beginner.(exemple = the choice and exclusion of variables int the different regression tools = linear, logistic, cox and so on.)

Vanesa, I concur with "The R Book". I probably have 90% of the R free
literature printed in hard copy and I've read them twice at least. I
find "The R Book" excellent; and I anxiously waiting for the next
edition (hopefully with corrections and additions). Today, it is my
first choice to find for something in R. If I do not find it there
(which is not usual), then I look into other resources including R lists
and publications. Hope this helps.

"The R Book" by Crawley (Wiley) is comprehensive and very useful.
It got a nice review in the latest issue of "The American
Statistician"

Hallo! My
name is Vanesa; I am a biology PhD student from Argentina. I am used to carry 
out
statistical analysis of data from our experiments. And I would like to have a
book to learn how to use “R†for statistical. I need one which contains for
example: analysis of categorical data, regression, ANOVA (fixed, mixed,
repeated measures nestled), etc.
Can you
help me to choose a book? Thank you 
very much.
