Does anyone use R? What are some good books/guides for learning R?
>>
Monitoring because I'm probably gonna do a web course called introductory to R language in this period. It's worth two credits and you just have to complete these four multiple answer question sets with 80% correct each.

I don't really care about the R language though. I only chose statistics minor because nothing else really interested me either.

I want to use R to analyze data produced by evolution simulators I write.
>>
I use python/scipy/numpy/matplotlib but I've been noticing that a lot of it is not that solid and wondering if R would be better.
>>

What do you dislike about those languages?
>>
R is nice I think

Not really used it
>>
Do you not understand the utility of a language that's well suited to manipulate statistical data? R is thoroughly used in this field because it works and it's free.
>>
I have used it a lot on our statistics and geography courses, also our professor is like an R guru or something, he has done a lot of work with it and written lots of packages.

I never really got into it, the documentation for most functions and packages is just.. weird I guess.

I once used it to cobble together a program to plot the hailstone numbers. Haven't touched it since. It was relatively straightforward; pleasingly simple language really.
