Gabor has given a useful suggestion: looking online. You will find that R syntax (and mindset) are quite different from SAS, so using an introductory text will save you time. I think Peter Dalgaard's "Introductory Statistics with R" is quite a good one, especially if you prefer something in the print (rather than electronic) medium. -- Mike Prager, NOAA, Beaufort, NC * Opinions expressed are personal and not represented otherwise. * Any use of tradenames does not constitute a NOAA endorsement. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
