First Steps in R for Phylogeneticists

Abstract

It is clear that some experience with R greatly helps in handling the materials presented in this book. In the last few years, the practice and teaching of R has increased dramatically. So it is likely that most readers will already be familiar with R. The goal of this chapter is more to remind the most fundamental notions of R, rather than to give a formal introduction for new users. It is focused on the topics required for the present book, and does not cover all introductory concepts and notions about R.
