[R] R on a ma c

[Joshua Wiley]

Dear Tiffany,

R works wonderfully with Macs (and *nix and Windows).  The main
program should be all you need, but if you have any doubts or
concerns, here is the link to download R from the website for Mac
OSes:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/

If you are just getting started using R, it is a good idea to read
through the introduction to R manual:
http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html

and you might also consider getting a book to help you a long the way.
 There is a large list of books related to R here:
http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html

I have personally found Peter Dalgaard's book a very nice book to start with:
Peter Dalgaard. Introductory Statistics with R. Springer, 2nd edition,
2008. ISBN 978-0-387-79053-4. [ bib | Discount Info | Publisher Info |
http://www.biostat.ku.dk/~pd/ISwR.html ]



Best regards and welcome to R,

Josh
