Getting Started in R

An eight-page pdf guide for "Getting Started in R". A 'Second Edition' using tinyplot is also available as a eight-page pdf.

Objective

To create a short guide that gives a quick overview and introduction to R.

How?

• Using a practical approach of showing how to do things immediately using realistic examples and a real life dataset.
• Avoiding technical details where possible.
• Making it fun and interesting.

For whom?

• Beginners.
• Data scientists, statisticians, programmers, ... who want to get a flavour of R.
• Those who want a quick refresher guide to R.
• The curious.

Outcome

• After reading the guide, following the examples and doing exercises you will learn how to manipulate, visualise and summarise data.
• Hopefully you will have the curiousity to learn more :)
