This tutorial manual provides a comprehensive introduction to R, a software package for statistical computing and graphics. Note that a newer edition of this manual is available as "An Introduction to R - Second Edition" ISBN 0954612086. R supports a wide range of statistical techniques, and is easily extensible via user-defined functions written in its own language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C, C++ or Fortran. One of Rs strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced. R is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
