[R] Fw: How to learn R language?

[stephen sefick]

I am sure that there are as many ways as people, but this is what I
did.  MASS 4, Simple R (internet), and this list.  I taught myself and
it may have been easier to have a guide as this would have cut the
learning curve down, but this is not essential.  Find out what you
need to do, do the examples or vigenettes that come along with the
function you would like to use, cuss a lot, and repeat.  I am a
biologist and never thought I would be programing, but I am now
literate enough to solve the problems that present themselves.
good luck and welcome

I need to learn R language from Statistics point of view e.g. I need to fit distributions to data or run regression analysis etc. No doubt there are so many articles available on internet. But can someone guide me as to how do I begin and go on improving myself SYSTEMATICALLY?

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
