There are many books, but if I had to choose one that teaches R and teaches statistics at the same time (Yes, you already know stats, so it will be that much easier) I'd choose Peter Dalgaard's book, Introductory Statistics with R. It's exceptionally well written, easy to follow, and will systematically teach you R. It's paperback, not too expensive and available at Amazon. Start at the front, work all the way through it and you will be delighted with the results.

Hi! I am a post graduate in Statistics. I want to learn R language, but am very confused as to how to begin systematically. I need to learn R language from Statistics point of view e.g. I need to fit distributions to data or run regression analysis etc. No doubt there are so many articles available on internet. But can someone guide me as to how do I begin and go on improving myself SYSTEMATICALLY? Hence, please guide me as to how should I start learning R language? What should I read first etc. Thanks in advance, Sagga K Did you know? You can CHAT without downloading messenger.
