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.

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
You might also consider S Programming, by Venables & Ripley. -roger
