– R in Action: Data Analysis and Graphics with R

My daughter (studying economics) had to learn R in a short period from a background of no coding whatsoever. I helped her identify this book which has been immensely helpful to her. The author very kindly lets you read the whole text as a free e-book first, which we did. We found it so helpful that we’ve now done the right thing and bought the book. If you’re faced with learning R I really recommend this book.

Bought this book for university, which was of great help as the program can be a little difficult to grasp at first. The book guides you through all the basic program settings and helps 'translate' a lot of the jargon related to the subject. Brilliant!

A good book for the beginners. Though tutorials component could be improved. Overall, good starting point to learn R.

Use this in my current role to learn R programming. Easy to understand and read - happy with my purchase.

Very nice R codebook for any level learner. It has more contents than what i expected. If you think it might be too expensive, then I will suggest reading the same book online, because it is also free. Then you can decide whether to have a hard copy. I think using a hard copy can be more productive than the book.

Look like and amazing book for R beginner. Covers all necessary topics. Also, on registering the book, your get access to the R codes and e-copy.

Excellent. As a very experience SAS user I needed a book to fast-track getting to grips with R. Lots of examples.

Excellent book. Clearly written. Plenty of examples. I recommend it to my students at every level and use it in my teaching.

R in Action is a well written book to apply R in your daily work, mainly, but no only, in statistical matters. It combines a well reading with a deep insight of the maters it covers. Pablo

Rプログラミングを学ぶ初心者には素晴らしい本です、 でも印刷用紙が白すぎて、長い間見ていたら目が痛くなりました。

It's a great self-learning book and, after two years, it still serves me well as a reference. Its focus is on how to do analyses in R so it's always useful to check before I delve fully into a new project. Unlike other books, it doesn't really cover the tidyverse, which leaves space for the really useful stuff. It's a book for people that want to do statistics in R and not so much aspiring data scientists. I liked it so much that I bought a copy for my girlfriend and it's pretty useful in her research.

Got the book in good condition. The author via this book actually gives a captivating learning journey for the aspirant.

El texto de Kabacoff es una excelente introducción al lenguaje R. El enfoque por ejemplo prácticos hace que se comprendan todos los temas sin dificultad . Incluye temas que van desde la estadística descriptiva hasta temas más avanzados como la gráficación y el modelo lineal entre muchos otros temas. En esta segunda edición se incluyen temas adicionales como el análisis de series de tiempo y el análisis de conglomerados. Adicionalmente los libros de la editorial Manning incluyen la descarga de la versión digital del libro, lo que lo hace doblemente valioso. Es un libro que puede ser de utilidad para el novato en R así como para al experto en estadística. Totalmente recomendable.
