About the Book
This manual is the first volume of the complete reference manual for the base package of GNU R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The main commands of the base package of R are described in this volume, while the other functions (such as graphics) are described in volume two.
All the reference manuals are written by the developers of R, and represent the definitive guide to the software. The manuals explain the use of each command in detail, with references, implementation notes and examples. Every volume includes a comprehensive index of entries listed by keyword and topic.
Together the first and second volumes document the complete base package of R (version 1.8.1). Note: both volumes are needed for the complete documentation (see the "Related Titles" section below for a link to the other volume).
This manual is bound in hardback for durability, making it ideal for libraries.
