Welcome to the
'R' programming
Wikibook


  • This is a guide to the R programming language[1].
  • Why this R programming wikibook ?
    • You generally have good documentation for each package in 'R' but it is not so easy to find the right package and to compare functions from different packages. For instance you have many functions which export the results to latex and it is not obvious to know which is the best for your needs.
    • One can find many resources and handouts on R programming on the internet but all these resources are scattered and therefore difficult to find and to compare.
    • The aim of this wikibook is to be the place where anyone can share his/her tricks and knowledge on R.
  • How can you share your R experience ?
    • give useful examples using fake data simulations or R example datasets
    • explain the syntax of a command
    • compare the different ways of performing each task using R.
    • As with any wikibook please feel free to make corrections, expand explanations, and make additions where necessary.
