[R] Unable to install packages

[David Carlson]

I'd start with the home page for R: http://www.r-project.org/
because you seem to have no idea what version is current
(3.0.1). You will find Google to be very helpful. As for
manuals, the official documentation is at

http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html

and the user contributed manuals are at

http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html which includes "R
and Data Mining: Examples and Case Studies" by Yanchang Zhao
(PDF, 2013-04-26, 160 pages).

the Task Views are at

http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/ 

There are a number of other useful web sites including

http://www.statmethods.net/index.html
http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/
http://www.cyclismo.org/tutorial/R/
http://ww2.coastal.edu/kingw/statistics/R-tutorials/

Just to get you started.

Subject: [R] Unable to install packages

Hi all. I am new to R. I have just installed R2.10.1 for my
Windows 7
computer. When I go to Packages > Install Packages on the
drop-down list, I
get the message:

"Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/cran/bin/windows/contrib/2.10
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.10
Error in install.packages (Null, .libPaths () [1L],
dependencies = NA, type
= type) :
   no packages were specified"

Please advise suitably.

Also suggest any good free online book/free online recognized
course to *
quickly* master R for data mining.
