"I found the book extremely helpful...The material is laid out in a way that makes it very accessible. Because of this I recommend this book to any R user regardless of his or her familiarity with SAS or SPSS...For new R users it will demystify many aspects, and for existing R users it will have many answers to those questions you have been too afraid to ask in public." --The American Statistician "... an excellent introduction to R...the book meticulously covers data management, data structures, programming, graphics and basic statistical analysis in R. The prose is clear, the examples tied to their SPSS and SAS analogs. The handling of both traditional and newer "ggplot2" graphics is comprehensive: SPSS and SAS users will undoubtedly find lots to like.
