Some links that I’m going to add to from time to time:

http://www.amstat.org/misc/UseofR.pdf Nice introduction to statistical uses

R Graphics Gallery many interesting graphics

John Verzani, Using R for Introductory Statistics An excellent introduction to both R and statistics.

LEARN R BY JUST WATCHING

Decision Science News has created a video tutorial on how to get started using the R Language for Statistical Computing. Topics covered include:
o Downloading and installing R in Windows
o The R graphical user interface
o Viewing the graphics demo
o Vectors and basic stats
o Simple plotting

Grant Farnsworth, Econometrics in R, Econometrics has been far more attentive to autocorrelation issues than paleoclimate, but the data issues have a lot in common.

Steve Simon Professor Mean’

DEmusure says:
Steve, html formatting is standard to R (examples below). You can automagically generate layouts with tables & graphs then cut & paste the HTML code in WordPress.

tmpfile=”t1.html”
xy=cbind(c(1981:2000), c(1:10))
HTML(xy, file=tmpfile)

Another example using CSS formatting to harmonize your presentations
tmpfic=HTMLInitFile(tempdir(),CSSFile=”http://www.stat.ucl.ac.be/R2HTML/R2HTML.css”)
data(iris)
HTML(as.title(“Fisher Iris dataset”),file=tmpfic)
HTML(iris, file=tmpfic)
browseURL(tmpfic)

Russ:

I started with Using R for Introductory Statistics by John Verzani and then transitioned to The R Book by Michael Crawley for a more detailed understanding of R. I also bought a book called The Cartoon Guide to Statistics, as I am visual learner. R is used a lot here and relearning basic stats with R will be big help if you become a regular at Climate Audit.:
