Abstract
The immediate objective here is to skill up in data analytics and basic graphics with R. The range of analysis that can be completed, and the types of graphics that can be created in R is simply astounding. In addition to the wide variety of functions available in the “base” packages that are installed with R, more than 4500 contributed packages are available for download, each with its own suite of functions. Some individual packages are the subject of entire books.
