Hello
I was hoping to get some advice regarding teaching R in an academic environment.
What are the best choices with respect to textbooks?
When this question was asked a few years back, people were primarily
recommending “Modern Applied Statistics with S” and “Introductory
Statistics with R” as two good choices. I’ve also heard some good
thinks regarding “An R Companion to Applied Regression”.
Has anything else really good come along in recent years?
Alternatively, are there any really good companion textbooks / lab
manuals to accompany standard texts?
"... teaching R in an academic environment" is a bit too general.
If you're primarily concerned with using R in teaching statistics, then
the course level would be important. For into, Dalgaard's is nice. The
MASS book is something of a bible for more advanced courses.
On the other hand, if you're talking about R programming, then I can
recommend "A First Course in Statistical Programming with R"
by John Braun and Duncan Murdoch as a very nice introduction.
