It depends on your starting point, of course. Whether you have a background with other statistical packages and/or with programming languages like C, etc. Quite a few people have started from the intro manual that ships with R (and its predecessor for S-PLUS). There are quite a few books out, see for instance http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html (thanks for reminding me that the info for my own book needs to be updated for the 2nd ed., by the way...), and freely available documents in http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Ă˜ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
