In one day on this book, I already manage to treat almost automatically data tables. I have not yet attacked the section on factor analysis, however. This book is very well explained and allows very quickly get used to the software that is free, remember, and can be a good alternative to SAS for SMEs, SMIs and associations or simply useful to a student who has to deal with data. I already receive training in academic and professional and I think SAS statistical programming bases are necessary to adapt well to A. This book is perfect for beginners as R! In any case the target public is, I think, an audience of statisticians. Congratulations to the authors! A book such as this one on R lacked in French.
