Hi,

First-off, I apologize if this is the wrong list to post to, but I would
like to install and try out 'R', as an alternative to 'SAS' . As a newbie,
could you pl let me know about the following (in terms of online resources
and print books)

I have previously used SAS/BASE in a Biostatistics/ Epidemiology (Public
Health) class, and familiar with very basic terminology and SAS-BASE use.

1) Basics of 'R'

2) Where to download & How to install it on Windows (XP), and any needed
add-on modules (for Data Analysis and Biostatistics procedures) + others
similar to ODS of SAS.

2) Any print/ online documentation for the beginning user of R.

Thanks,

Jay
