Sites 2 Remember

This post will be ‘a work in progress’, as I will try to include new links to interesting sites as I go.

General

The R Journal A link to the R Journal, a peer-reviewed and open access journal concerning R and related topics in statistical computing etc.

USGS/NPS R Short Course: A link to materials of the earlier mentioned short course in R held by USGS and NPS.

RSeek.org: A search engine specific for R related queries based on Google’s Custom Search.

StatsRus (alias RTips): “… is not a substitute for R documentation, just a list of things I’m using to remember what I read in the email list.” I found it quite an impressive list covering lots of FAQ concerning data input/output, data frames, matrices, graphs, model fitting and many more.
