[R-sig-teaching] help for beginner

[Fikret ER]

Hi
There are few things that you can do,


1. Install the package "TeachingDemos" by Greg Snow,

2. Visit the Rwiki page, http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php

3. May visit the page http://www.cyclismo.org/tutorial/R/probability.html

4. I also find R Journal very useful, http://journal.r-project.org

5. For Introductory Statistics, the book "Introductory Statistics with R"
by Peter Dalgaard is excellent choice,

6. May read the slides of S. Weisberg,
http://www.r-project.org/user-2006/Slides/Fox+Weisberg.pdf

7. Visit the page here,

I hope these will help,
