R Fundamentals & Graphics

This book is the first of the three volume set. Volume 1 provides you with a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of R and the confidence to use its powerful graphic features. No background knowledge of R is required. It takes you step by step from using R to perform statistical tests to generating advanced graphics. The book includes over 400 examples and illustrations using base R, ggplot2, gplots, lattice, rgl, Rcmdr, scatterplot3d, grid, mvtsplot, ggally, car and other R packages. An assessment chapter is included at the end of the book to apply the concepts you have learned.
