In what has become an ongoing series of R tutorials, here's another Introduction to R document, by James Monogan. If you're familiar with interactive programming (but not R), but don't have a lot of time, this might be the introduction for you: it takes you through the basics of R at an efficient clip. In its 26 pages you'll learn how to:
- Use resources about R to look up more information on it.
- Load, manipulate, and use data in R.
- Run basic models.
- Perform matrix algebra in R.
- Explain the logic of programming in R.
- Program maximum likelihood estimators.
- Install packages and use them for upper-level methods.
- Draw graphs using the base and lattice graphics packages.
James also provides a handy page of R resources.
