Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 11:46 AM To: 'R-help at lists.R-project.org' Subject: [R] (no subject) Hello, I am interested in R as an alternative for a statistical tool at our firm. I do know RATS an SPSS but not S+. As I read that R is close to S+, I would like to know if you could recommend me any books as an introduction to S+ or R. Best regards Marc
Marc, Reviewing R FAQs 2.7 and 3.x on the main R site would be a good place to start. The former lists books and other documents (some online) that serve as excellent introductions, while the latter helps to differentiate R and S/S+. Spending some time with those references and the R FAQs will serve as a good foundation, with keyword searches of the R-help list archive serving as an additional strong resource. HTH, Another Marc
