===== Statistical Software: R =====

R is available for free download at
[[http://cran.r-project.org/|The Comprehensive R Archive Network]]
(Windows, Linux and Mac).

It is recommended that you install [[http://rstudio.org/|Rstudio]] which is an integrated development environment (system where you have you script, your run-window, overview of objects and a plotting window).

A nice introduction to R is the book 
[[http://staff.pubhealth.ku.dk/~pd/ISwR.html|P. Dalgaard: Introductory statistics with R, 2nd edition, Springer]] which is also available freely to NTNU students as an ebook [[http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-0-387-79054-1|Introductory Statistics with R]].
and several manuals can be found [[http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html|at CRAN]].

A short introduction can be found on the [[http://www.math.ntnu.no/~mettela/TMA4267/V2014/E1Rintro.pdf|course webpage of TMA4267]].


At youtube there are several videos that introduces R and specific topics.
