[R] Lecture

[F Z]

Oi Bernardo

Maybe it would also be useful to show them some of the libraries available 
for medical research.  That list would also be useful for other people on 
this forum including myself ;)

In the past I have made demos running R and other commercial software side 
by side, to demonstrate that you can do the same things and even better 
using R (i.e. try examples using SAS Proc Mixed vs. lme, different plots, 
etc)

Cheers

Francisco
