Reading for R

Overview

There are lots of good resources for R. The reading we will be using for this class is largely based on selections from the concise ``Beginner's Guide to R'', by Zuur et al. Fortunately, Wellesley's library has access to an e-book version of this and other books. For simplicity, I have included links to local PDF copies of most chapters, which you can access from on campus.

Data Manipulation with R

This book goes into greater detail into many of the subtleties of working in data in R. I found Chapters 4, 5, and 8 to be particularly helpful. The link to the complete book hosted by the publisher is here
