STATISTICAL LAB USING THE R-SYSTEM

This introduction to the freely available statistical software package R is primarily intended for people already familiar with common statistical concepts. The intention is to offer just enough material to get started, to motivate beginners by illustrating the power and flexibility of R, and to show how simply it enables the user to carry out sophisticated statististical computations and to produce high-quality graphical displays.

An efficient (and enjoyable) way of beginning to master R is to actively use it, to experiment with its functions and options and to write own functions.

The book is in equal parts instructional tool and reference guide, as useful for the reader new to the subject as it is for practitioners in mathematical and non-mathematical fields.
