Appendix: Getting Started with R

Abstract

This appendix focuses on some specific features and commands of R that you will need in the first few chapters of this book. If you have never used R before—or you need a review of the basics—we recommend starting here. Throughout the book, we show the R code required for each new concept, briefly explaining the new R commands involved. If you want more detailed information, you can refer to the introductory and general reference manuals available on the R website.
