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.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/570029/learning-applied-statistics-with-a-focus-on-r seems like a good starting point.
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.
