R Cookbook--New from O'Reilly Media
Proven Recipes for Data Analysis, Statistics, and Graphics

Sebastopol, CA--With more than 200 practical recipes, "R Cookbook" (O'Reilly Media, $43.99 USD)
helps you perform data analysis with R quickly and efficiently.

"R is now the premier tool for number-crunching, graphics, and statistical computing," says author
Paul Teetor (@pteetor). "But it has a learning curve and plenty of quirks. I wrote this cookbook so
that readers can quickly solve problems with R and move forward. It grew out of the notes,
techniques, and short cuts that I use everyday."

Each recipe addresses a specific problem, with a discussion that explains the solution and offers
insight into how it works. If you're a beginner, R Cookbook will help get you started. If you're an
experienced data programmer, it will jog your memory and expand your horizons. You'll get the job
done faster and learn more about R in the process.

This collection of concise, task-oriented recipes makes you productive with R immediately, with
solutions ranging from basic tasks to input and output, general statistics, graphics, and linear
regression. You will also learn how to:

- Tackle data structures such as matrices, lists, factors, and data frames
- Work with probability, probability distributions, and random variables
- Calculate statistics and confidence intervals, and perform statistical tests
- Create a variety of graphic displays
- Build statistical models with linear regressions and analysis of variance (ANOVA)
- Explore advanced statistical techniques, such as finding clusters in your data

Advance Praise:
"Wonderfully readable, R Cookbook serves not only as a solutions manual of sorts, but as a truly
enjoyable way to explore the R language--one practical example at a time."
--Jeffrey Ryan, software consultant and R package author
