Abstract
The R software package is a powerful and flexible tool for statistical analysis which is used by practitioners and researchers alike. A basic understanding of R allows applying a wide variety of statistical methods to actual data and presenting the results clearly and understandably. This chapter provides help in setting up the programme and gives a brief introduction to its basics.
Don’t think—use the computer.
