[R] R Book Advice Needed

[ngottlieb at marinercapital.com]

Thanks Roland, fortunately I dug up MASS by Venables/Ripley
buried under all my econometric and statistic books.

Will be reading it today and order a few of the R books
for additional support.


Thanks for your suggestions...
Regards,
Neil

I'd still recommend Venables/Ripley: Modern Applied Statistics with S
(or often abbrev. MASS, which is also name of the package which supports
this book and is part of any standard distribution of R).
Have a look at the table of contents. It is possible via amazon.com (and
I guess also for a series of other books on your list).
I think using MASS together with the included manuals (especially "An
Introduction to R") is probably the best way to get you started.

Best,
Roland
