I'll take a look at this book. Since S and R are not completely the same, there are delicate differences between S and R, which an S book may be confusing if I want to learn R. One example is Statistical Models in S by Chambers and Hastie, where some examples in this book is not applicable in R as I pointed in my previous message to this mailing list some time ago. Could somebody let me know if there is a detailed comparison between S and R to help me understand R better even if I use books for S? >> I don't find a tutorial on S3.
