R Resources

R

  • www.r-project.org: R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS.
  • It includes a GUI interface for Windows (Mac?, Linux?), but it's quite rudimentary. You might (will probably) like RStudio better.
  • Download R for Windows, MacOS

RStudio

  • Free & very capable environment for working with R. Seems to be a defacto standard for many.
  • Download R first, see above.
  • RStudio: You want RStudio Desktop / Open Source Edition.

Books

These books are free to read online, but you can also purchase them in digital and paper formats:

Cheat Sheets

  • There are several nice cheat sheets here on the RStudio website.
  • A data.table cheat sheet is here.

data.table

dplyr

R Shiny

  • shiny.rstudio.com
  • Good for putting R-based analysis tools on the internet, where people can interact through a web browser without having to know or install R
  • Also good for developing GUI-based tools for use from within R-Studio

devtools

  • Getting this shined up and ready for CRAN will involve some work, and this sheet has a good breadth of coverage
  • Also lots of devtools info in the book R Packages

Miscellaneous

  • R-Bloggers: R news and tutorials contributed by (750+) R bloggers
