review 1: This is an excellent book on R. If you don't know anything about R, this isn't the book to start with. However, it will be really useful after you have learned some really basic concepts about R (basically, one week after you start learning R!). The book consists of user-oriented tasks. The reader looks up the task they are interested in performing from the contents pages at the front of the book. So the book is designed as a reference book. The strength of this book are: ** the range and number of tasks described (they include some really basic beginner's stuff right through to specific statistical analyses.)** the explanations are easy to understand** the explanations are full. By this I mean the reader who has never performed that task before can pick up everything they... more need to know to carry out that task themselves. For example, tips and illustrative examples are included. This book has saved me a lot of time and head-scratching! However, it's not designed to be the only R book you'll ever need. It's a fantastic reference meant for beginners to intermediate R users. And you will learn a lot from it!
review 2: The R programming language is well suited for exploring correlation in medium size data sets. If you already understand the null hypothesis and know which algorithms are appropriate to use for statistical variance testing, then this book will really boost your productivity with R.If you don't have much understanding of statistics and what purpose it serves, then this is not the first book that you should turn to. less
