This question has already been answered:

About a year ago I learned from a person working with the genome about the existence of such an extremely convenient for mathematical and statistical computing language as R. There was an idea to try to apply it for purely practical purposes, for example, in game development, since it is not only suitable for calculations, but also for convenient output of the processed information.

However, the language was created by scientists and for scientists, which was somewhat reflected in its syntax and principles of work. In short, the attempt to solve with it the first task, which differs in complexity from "Hello, World!", Ended with a frank inability to get into the documentation. If there are people on Heshkod who are familiar with this language, I ask you for advice: Are there any Russian-language books and manuals on R (I’ve already looked at Wikibooks, but there are only the basics, and that is fragmentary), and what is worth reading to understand what the tricky arguments of the functions there mean (The current problem, for example, arose with a random number generator, in a given range)?

In winter, there will be lectures on R at Cursar, but in order to take out at least one of them, especially in English, in any case, you need to understand at least terminology.

  • Maybe this book will help you somehow: Visual statistics. Use R! And here there is a selection, but it seems that they are all on a foreign move. Although in the comments like praise - DreamChild
  • Most recently this happened. In general, if you want to seriously engage in R, then learn English. In English literature is just the sea. - skegg
  • And more, it seems, and there is no literature. - skegg
  • @mikillskegg, maybe something else will be written / translated, the topic is something fertile. Again: Let it be better that all useful links are stored in one topic, otherwise I will ask twenty times. How do I understand that figured out with R - close, but for now let him weigh. - Risto
  • It turns out that such a question was already [asked] [1] a year and a half ago. The question listed a couple more books. [1]: hashcode.ru/questions/82746/… - Risto

I somehow did not really look for publications in Russian by R. Sometimes I found small pdf with a description of the methods + visual application. Basically, help in the program itself or on the Internet provide an exhaustive answer to all questions. Unfortunately, only in English.
However, there is a place where there is some description in Russian. Quite a lot of methods and examples compiled. I would be glad if it helps you.

  • Found the information I need there, thank you. I accept, but after reading the books I can change the decision. - Risto
  • Glad to help. Often, the necessary info is not hidden in books, but on forums, blogs and other platforms .. - Stas0n
