R

I've been wanting to learn R. Do you have any reccommendations for tutorials?

I recommend these: Girke Lab R manuals

Full disclosure, I am biased because I co-authored several of those... but I really do think they're quite good. They're oriented primarily towards people that want to do biology/bioinformatics with R.

Bayesian content is in the works...

That's sweet, thanks!

R is severely lacking free tutorials. (As is bayesian stats)

This might be an approach.

Do you recommend any of the 3 tutorials/books? The first one sounds good if it would let one kill two birds with one stone: both learn R and learn Bayesian statistics.

Wow, thanks.
