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

Apart from the wealth of material on "http://www.r-project.org/", my 
favorite book on R is Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th ed., by 
Venables and Ripley.

hope this helps.  spencer graves

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
