Re: [R] elementary statistics with R (rkward?)
Dear Donatas, you might want to try my yown website, that is still under heavy construction (please use the tree-menu-structure): http://rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-project/manual I'd like to hear what you think of it as a beginning R user. I want to mention though, that the books mentioned by other mailers are much better, complete and concise. The web though gives me the space to give many examples. yours sincerely, Rense Nieuwenhuis On Jul 11, 2007, at 15:27 , Donatas G. wrote: Hi, I am trying to learn some basic statistics stuff but I cannot find any elementary statistics exercises using R language.

You seem to be looking for a practical GUI allowing you to learn R in a fairly easy way. Then, you're probably heading towards the R Commander [1] package. SciViews-R [2] is also worth looking at as a decent alternative to programs like SPSS. However, watch out for the incompatibility issues of SciViews with recent R _and_ Linux (the author would fix both problems somewhere towards September/October). If you want to check other GUIs, look at the link on available GUIs [3] (go directly to Overview); you might be interested by anything starting with Rcmdr and bellow. On a side note, I tried a recent version of RKward and to me the program felt, just as its name suggests, awkward. As for understanding the basics of R, you would be interested in checking this document on differences between SPSS or SAS and R [4]. This pdf reference [5] is also interesting for beginners (like myself, by the way). Hope this is of help.

Re: [R] elementary statistics with R (rkward?)
I don't know anything about RKward, but there are many, many tutorials, guides and other documents written for people learning R available online. Try the introduction to R at: http://www.r-project.org/ under manuals, or some of the many fine contributions at: http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html Sarah On 7/11/07, Donatas G.

Re: [R] elementary statistics with R (rkward?)
Face the music and buy the book: _Introductory Statistics with R_ by Peter Dalgaard. It's perfect for what you need. It's clear and concise and will teach you statistics AND R as painlessly as such a thing can be. It's inexpensive and you can get it on Amazon.com and every other major bookseller, including the nearest university bookstore. Charles Annis, P.E.

Re: [R] elementary statistics with R (rkward?)
As a fellow beginner, I also found Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using R, by Brian Everitt, to be a very useful book. There is an accompanying R package, HSAUR. Also Using R for Introductory Statistics, by John Verzani. There is an accompanying R package, UsingR. Christopher W.
