HIGHLIGHT
A practical guide to the use of R for statistical analysis and graphing.
DESCRIPTION
The ability to interpret and act on the massive amounts of information
locked in web and enterprise systems is critical to success in the
modern business economy. R, a free software environment for

empowers developers and analysts to capture, process, and respond
intelligently to statistical information.
R in Action is the first book to present both the R system and the use
cases that make it such a compelling package for business developers.
The book begins by introducing the R language, and then moves on to

graphical environment, useful add-on modules, and how to interface R
with other software platforms and data management systems.
