1 John Fox ICPSR Training Program McMaster University Summer, 2014 The R Statistical Computing Environment: The Basics and Beyond The R statistical programming language and computing environment has become the defacto standard for writing statistical software among statisticians and has made substantial inroads in the social sciences. R is a free, open-source implementation of the S language, and is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix/Linux systems. There is also a commercial implementation of S called S-PLUS, but it has been eclipsed by R. The basic R system is developed and maintained by the R Core group, comprising 20 members, many of them eminent in the field of statistical computing. The R Project for Statistical Computing is a project of the R Foundation, whose membership includes the R Core group and several other individuals, and is also associated with the Free Software Foundation. A statistical package, such as SPSS, is primarily oriented toward combining instructions with rectangular case-by-variable datasets to produce (often voluminous) printouts. Statistical packages make routine data analysis relatively easy, but they make it relatively difficult to do things that are innovative or non-standard, or to add to the built-in capabilities of the package. In contrast, a good statistical computing environment also makes routine data analysis easy, but it additionally supports convenient programming; this means that users can extend the already impressive facilities of R. Statisticians and others have taken advantage of the extensibility of R to contribute (at the time of writing this syllabus) more than 5000 freely available packages of documented R programs and data to CRAN (the Comprehensive R Archive Network) < and many others to the Bioconductor package archive < As well, R is especially capable in the area of statistical graphics, reflecting the origin of S at Bell Labs, a centre of graphical innovation. The first two days of this workshop are meant to provide a basic overview of and introduction to R, including to statistical modeling in R in effect, using R as a statistical package. I will also show you how to use RStudio, a sophisticated front-end to R, which includes support for literate programming to create documents that mix R code with explanatory text, encouraging reproducible research. The final three days pick up where the basic material leaves off, and are intended to provide the background required to use R seriously for data analysis and presentation, including an introduction to R programming and to the design of custom statistical graphs, unlocking the power in the R statistical programming environment. Participants should bring their laptops to the workshop and should install R and RStudio in advance of the workshop (see the instructions on the workshop website). An outline of the workshop follows (with chapter and on-line appendix references to Fox and Weisberg, An R Companion to Applied Regression, Second Edition):
2 Day 1. Getting started with R (Ch. 1); linear and generalized models in R (Ch. 4, 5); literate programming and reproducible research using R and RStudio. Day 2. Mixed-effects models and repeated-measures ANOVA and MANOVA with the car, nlme, and lme4 packages (on-line appendices on Multivariate Linear Models and Mixed-Effects Models); Survival ( event-history ) analysis and structural-equation models with the survival and sem packages (on-line appendices on Cox Regression for Survival Data and Structural-Equation Models). Day 3. Data in R (Ch. 2); the basics of R programming (Ch. 8, Sec ) Day 4. R programming, beyond the basics (Ch. 8, Sec ) Day 5. R graphics (Ch. 7); building R packages Workshop Web Site Materials for the workshop will be deposited at < abbreviation < which also has active links to many of the resources described in this syllabus. Acquiring R and RStudio I recommend that you use R with the RStudio interactive development environment (IDE), which provides a sophisticated programming editor, and tools for literate programming for reproducible research, R package management, R package creation, and many other useful features. Both R and RStudio are free software, available on the Internet. Instructions for installing R and RStudio for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux systems are on the workshop web site at < with a link on the workshop home page. Selected Bibliography Publishers of statistical texts have been producing a steady stream of books on R. Of particular note is Springer's Use R! series of brief paperbacks on various R-related topics < several titles of which I've listed below. Recently, Chapman and Hall introduced The R Series < Basic Texts The principal source for this workshop is J. Fox and S. Weisberg, An R Companion to Applied Regression, Second Edition, Sage (2011). Additional materials are available on the web site for the book
3 < including several appendices (on multivariate linear models, structural-equation models, mixed models, survival analysis, and more). The book is associated with the car package for R. I am a member of the R Foundation. Alternatively (or additionally), more advanced students may wish to use W. N. Venables and B. D. Ripley, Modern Applied Statistics with S as a principal source. Bill Venables is a member of the R Foundation, and Brian Ripley is a member of the R Core group. Manuals R is distributed with a set of manuals, which are also available at the CRAN web site < A manual for S-PLUS Trellis Graphics (also useful for the lattice package in R) is also available on the web at < Programming in R R. A. Becker, J. M. Chambers, and A.R. Wilks, The New S Language: A Programming Environment for Data Analysis and Statistics. Pacific Grove, CA: Wadsworth, Defines S Version 2, which forms the basis of S Versions 3 and 4, as well as R. (Sometimes called the Blue Book. ) J. M. Chambers, Programming with Data: A Guide to the S Language. New York: Springer, Describes the then-new features in S Version 4, including the newer formal object-oriented programming system (also incorporated in R), by the principal designer of the S language and a member of the R Core group of developers. Not an easy read. (The Green Book. ) J. M. Chambers, Software for Data Analysis: Programming with R. New York: Springer, Chambers s newest book ranges quite widely, and emphasizes a deep understanding of the R language, along with object-oriented programming, and links between R and other software. Some topics are unusual, such as processing text data in R. J. M. Chambers and T.J. Hastie, eds., Statistical Models in S. Pacific Grove, CA: Wadsworth, An edited volume describing the statistical modeling capabilities in S, Versions 3 and 4, and R, and the object-oriented programming system used in S Version 3 and R (and available, for backwards compatibility, in S Version 4). In addition, the text covers S software for particular kinds of statistical models, including linear models, nonlinear models, generalized linear models, local-polynomial regression models, and generalized additive models. (The White Book. ) D. Eddelbbuettel, Seamless R and C++ Integration with Rcpp. New York: Springer, Judicious use of compiled code written in C, C++, or Fortran can substantially

Gentleman, R Programming for Bioinformatics. Boca Raton: Chapman and Hall, A thorough, though at points relatively difficult, treatment of programming in R, by one of the original co-developers of R and a founder of the related Bioconductor Project (which develops computing tools for the analysis of genomic data). Don t let the title fool you: Most of the book is of general interest to R programmers. R. Ihaka and R. Gentleman, R: A language for data analysis and graphics. Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 5: , The original published description of the R project, now quite out of date but still worth looking at. The founders of the R Project, both authors are members of the R Core group. W. N. Venables and B. D. Ripley, S Programming. New York: Springer, A companion volume to Modern Applied Statistics with S, and at the time of its publication the definitive treatment of writing software in the various versions of S-PLUS and R; now somewhat dated, particularly with respect to R. Brian Ripley is a member of the R Core group of developers, and Bill Venables is a member of the R Foundation. Statistical Computing in R The following three books treat traditional topics in statistical computing, such as optimization, simulation, probability calculations, and computational linear algebra, using R (although the coverage of particular topics in the books differs). All offer introductions to R programming. Of these books, Braun and Murdoch is the briefest and most accessible. W. J. Braun and D. J. Murdoch, A First Course in Statistical Programming with R. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, Duncan Murdoch is a member of the R Core group of developers. O. Jones, R. Maillardet, and A. Robinson, Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation Using R. Boca Raton: Chapman and Hall, M. L. Rizzo. Statistical Computing with R, Boca Raton: Chapman and Hall, Graphics in R P. Murrell. R Graphics, Second Edition. New York: Chapman and Hall, A tour-deforce the definitive reference on traditional R graphics and on the grid graphics system on which lattice graphics (the R implementation of William Cleveland s Trellis graphics) is built. R code to produce the figures in the book are on Murrell s web site < Paul Murrell is a member of the R Core group of developers.
5 P. Murrell and R. Ihaka, An approach to providing mathematical annotation in plots. Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 9: , One of the unusual and very useful features of R graphics is the ability to include mathematical notation. This article explains how. Paul Murrell and Ross Ihaka are both members of the R core group. D. Sarkar, Lattice: Multivariate Data Visualization with R. New York: Springer, Deepayan Sarkar is the developer of the powerful lattice package in R, which implements Trellis graphics. This book provides a fine introduction to and overview of lattice graphics. Figures from the book and the R code to produce them are available on the web < Deepayan Sarkar is a member of the R Core group of developers. H. Wickham, ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis. New York: Springer, 2009: A guide to Hadley Wickham's ggplot2 package, which provides an alternative graphics system for R based on an extension of Wilkinson's The Grammar of Graphics (Second Edition, Springer, 2005), which, in turn, provides a systematic basis for constructing statistical graphs. Data Management P. Spector, Data Manipulation with R. New York: Springer, Data management is a dry subject, but the ability to carry it out is vital to the effective day-to-day use of R (or of any statistical software). Spector provides a reasonably broad and clear introduction to the subject.

Many of the facilities described in the book are programmed in the associated (and indispensable) MASS, nnet, and spatial packages, which are included in the standard R distribution. This text is more advanced and has a broader focus than the R Companion. Brian Ripley is a member of the R Core group of developers. S. N. Wood, Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R. New York: Chapman and Hall, Describes the mgcv package in R, which contains a gam function for fitting generalized additive models based on smoothing splines. The initials mgcv stand for multiple generalized cross validation, the method by which Wood selects GAM smoothing parameters. Other Sources (Some Free) See the publications list on the R web site < The R Journal < the journal of the R Project for Statistical Computing, and its predecessor R News < are also good sources of information, as is the Journal of Statistical Software < an on-line American Statistical Association journal dominated by coverage of R packages. Information about R packages in a number of application areas is available in various CRAN task views <
