Then, when you finally ran this wonderful software, don't be afraid of its repulsive aspect. Just immerge yourself in this ascetic universe.

  • Need a help on a precise subject? Don't know how to use GLM (Generalized Linear Models)? Type: 
    help.search("Generalized Linear Models")
    and you will find the light: 
    ?glm
  • You vaguely remember a function to predict from a GLM... but can't remind it ? Type: 
    apropos("pred")
    to find all functions that includ "pred" in its name (and you'll find predict.glm)
  • Still not enough? You can find your answer on the incredible archives of the R-list ! Type: 
    RSiteSearch("Generalized Linear Models")
    which can be directly accessible on line here ! A lot of great answers from great people !
  • The first stop should be An introduction to R, my Bible.
  • Another nice tutorial is R for Beginners (and for the rest of the world, R pour les débutants).
  • People are also working for you at the R-wiki and Rtips!
  • Memory troubles? Need a reference card? A small one, and a bigger one!
  • Still not convinced? Take a look at the amazing graphic abilities of R here!

No, I don't have anything to sell.
Have a nice day.
