Abstract

In this chapter we will cover the basic steps for getting started in R. We will discuss the pros and cons of R, how to install the software and additional packages, and some suggestions on how to set up the machine to use R efficiently. We will also see how to read, manipulate, summarize, plot, and save data—the cornerstones of any analysis.
