I have no idea as I am chemist and I use statistics mainly for evaluating my results. Therefore my knoledge of satistics are somewhat limited. If I had a new problem which I had not solved yet I would took some statistics textbook and try to find similar problem its solution and then I would try to mimic it in R.
