    Smile Help to learn "R"!

    Hello friends,

    I just installed R on my ubuntu and I do not have previous experience with R. Is there anybody there can suggest some audio/video/materials for facilitating and enhancing my learning. Thanks for your advice. Gagea

    I don't know of any audio/video sources for learning R, but there's of course CRAN, which has a few manuals and everything R related:

    http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html

    Might wanna start with 'An Introduction to R', and do the tutorial included. Then I would just search for tutorials online, and grind through a few of them.

    The best way to learn R, I presume, is by doing exercises, or when analysing real data of your own. I doubt that you will learn very much from audio/video sources, so you should start with tutorials and such, the hard way like everyone else.

    Similar advice. I installed R commander. Seemed more like the SPSS I was used to. Good luck.
