Title: Good introduction to R book
Review: This is a good introductory book to R, covering basics of the language, statistical models, inference, regression (linear and logistic), experimental design, time series, classification, multivariate analysis, etc.The book uses liberally examples and in most cases has the code for the output or graphics as footnotes at the bottom of the page. The book also tries to teach the statistics to a degree, which one can see as an annoyance (just teach me R!) or helpful if you are shaky on your stats. The book also lists a fair number of references to other books on S-plus and R to help point you in the direction towards achieving a higher level of adeptness and other references to learn more about the topics covered in the book.The book also has exercises at the end of each chapter to get you into R and using the system. The answers to the exercises are not in the book, but are available in pdf format on the books corresponding website.
