Best, Manuel 2012/3/15 Dagfinn Rime <[email protected]> > Dear all, > > I'm new to R and need to learn how to program R, and would appreciate > suggestions for e.g. two books in order to get going. > > What type of books? Well, if I were to suggest books for a newcomer to > LaTeX I would say that "all" you need is Lamport's book and "The LaTeX > Companion" (2nd ed). Is there something similar for R? A not-too long > introductory book and one more comprehensive "reference"-like book? > > My level? > * Statistics? I have a PhD in finance and know "applied > statistics/econometrics" > * Programming? I currently do all my analysis via programming > ("scripting") in SAS or Eviews. > > The R-project page mention 115 books? I made notice of the following: > 1. Paul Teetor. R Cookbook. O'Reilly, first edition, 2011 > 2. Rob Kabacoff. R in Action. Manning, 2010. > 3. David Ruppert. Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial > Engineering. Use R! Springer, 2010 > 4. Alain F. Zuur, Elena N. Ieno, and Erik Meesters. A Beginner's Guide > to R. Use R. Springer, 2009 > > >From Amazon the following caught my attention: > 1. R in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly)) > 2. The R Book by Michael J. Crawley > > I have probably missed some (many), and there are probably lots of > different views. But I would appreciate any guidance and views. > > Thanks in advance, > Dagfinn Rime > Research department, Norges Bank > www.norges-bank.no/research/rime/ > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-teaching > -- *Manuel Spínola, Ph.D.* Instituto Internacional en Conservación y Manejo de Vida Silvestre Universidad Nacional Apartado 1350-3000 Heredia COSTA RICA [email protected] [email protected] Teléfono: (506) 2277-3598 Fax: (506) 2237-7036 Personal website: Lobito de río <https://sites.google.com/site/lobitoderio/> Institutional website: ICOMVIS <http://www.icomvis.una.ac.cr/> [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
