Pro R

build and import data files, and write your own custom statistical functions. R is a powerful open-source implementation of the statistical

language S, which was developed by AT&T. R has eclipsed S and the commercially-available S-Plus language, and has become the de facto standard

for doing, teaching, and learning computational statistics.

R is both an object-oriented language and a functional language that is easy to learn, easy to use, and completely free. A large community of

dedicated R users and programmers provides an excellent source of R code, functions, and data sets. R is also becoming adopted into commercial

tools such as Oracle Database. Your investment in continuing to learn R is sure to pay off in the long term as R continues to grow into the go to

language for statistical exploration and research.

* Covers the freely-available R language for statistics

* Shows the use of R in specific uses case such as simulations, discrete probability solutions, multivariate analysis, and several hypothesis tests

* Takes a hands-on and example-based approach incorporating best practices with clear explanations of the statistics being done
