R

This is a collection of exercises involving the statistics software package R. These exercises are used as a part of the Seminar Methodology and Statistics taught by John Nerbonne at the University of Groningen in the Spring of 2008.

These exercises have been compiled by Erik Tjong Kim Sang. If you have questions about the exercises, you can send him a mail at erikt(at)xs4all.nl

In 2008, a book about R has been published by Harald Baayen. You can download a draft version of the book (pdf) or order the book via Amazon (it costs 20 euros).

If your computer can handle it, you can also look at the online R video tutorials by Decision Science News (video 1, video 2).
