Is there a book that I can buy > to learn R? look at CRAN. You can find various books from beginners to quite advanced. e.g. P.Dalgaard Introductory statistics with R isd quite good for first steps. Or you can consult Rtips from Paul Johnson. (Just type statsrus into Google). Good idea is also to look into posting guide.
