Which R Reference Book For Me
Most R books are written by authors from their domains perspective. This post I will starts off with bio science.
Bio science Domain
Go for the 2nd edition if you can. The review of the first edition is here.
To get best value from this book, put yourself in one of the following categories, then go to the appropriate category heading within this section
- Beginner in both computing and statistics (Section 1.1.1);
- Student needing help with project work (1.1.2);
- Done some R and some statistics, but keen to learn more of both (1.1.3);
- Done regression and ANOVA, but want to learn more advanced statistical modelling (1.1.4);
- Experienced in statistics, but a beginner in R (1.1.5);
- Experienced in computing, but a beginner in R (1.1.6);
- IF you do not have the inclination to wade thru a 1076 pages of the above book, checkout UCD’s Dr Jon Yearsley (School of Biology and Environmental Science, UCD) resource.
