I'd start with the home page for R: http://www.r-project.org/ because you seem to have no idea what version is current (3.0.1). You will find Google to be very helpful. As for manuals, the official documentation is at
http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html and the user contributed manuals are at http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html which includes "R and Data Mining: Examples and Case Studies" by Yanchang Zhao (PDF, 2013-04-26, 160 pages). the Task Views are at http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/ There are a number of other useful web sites including http://www.statmethods.net/index.html http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/ http://www.cyclismo.org/tutorial/R/ http://ww2.coastal.edu/kingw/statistics/R-tutorials/ Just to get you started. ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Associate Professor of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Arnab Chakrabarti Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2013 2:36 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Unable to install packages Hi all. I am new to R. I have just installed R2.10.1 for my Windows 7 computer. When I go to Packages > Install Packages on the drop-down list, I get the message: "Warning: unable to access index for repository http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/cran/bin/windows/contrib/2.10 Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.10 Error in install.packages (Null, .libPaths () [1L], dependencies = NA, type = type) : no packages were specified" Please advise suitably. Also suggest any good free online book/free online recognized course to * quickly* master R for data mining.
