The contents of The R Software are presented so as to be both
comprehensive and easy for the reader to use. Besides its
application as a self-learning text, this book can support lectures
on R at any level from beginner to advanced. This book can serve as
a textbook on R for beginners as well as more advanced users,
working on Windows, MacOs or Linux OSes. The first part of the book
deals with the heart of the R language and its fundamental
concepts, including data organization, import and export, various
manipulations, documentation, plots, programming and maintenance.
The last chapter in this part deals with oriented object
programming as well as interfacing R with C/C++ or Fortran, and
contains a section on debugging techniques. This is followed by the
second part of the book, which provides detailed explanations on
how to perform many standard statistical analyses, mainly in the
Biostatistics field. Topics from mathematical and statistical
settings that are included are matrix operations, integration,
optimization, descriptive statistics, simulations, confidence
intervals and hypothesis testing, simple and multiple linear
regression, and analysis of variance. Each statistical chapter in
the second part relies on one or more real biomedical data sets,
kindly made available by the Bordeaux School of Public Health
(Institut de Sante Publique, d'Epidemiologie et de Developpement -
ISPED) and described at the beginning of the book. Each chapter
ends with an assessment section: memorandum of most important
terms, followed by a section of theoretical exercises (to be done
on paper), which can be used as questions for a test. Moreover,
worksheets enable the reader to check his new abilities in R.
Solutions to all exercises and worksheets are included in this
book.
