R Object-Oriented Programming

This book is designed for people with some experience with basic programming practices. It is also assumed that you have some basic experience using R and are familiar using the command line in an R environment. Our primary goal is to raise a beginner to a more advanced level to make you more comfortable creating programs and extending R to solve common problems.

Kelly Black is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at Clarkson University. His background is in numerical analysis with a focus on the use of spectral methods and stochastic differential equations. He makes extensive use of R in the analysis of the results of Monte-Carlo simulations. In addition to using R for his research interests, Kelly also uses the R environment for his statistics classes. He has extensive experience sharing his experiences with R in the classroom. The use of R to explore datasets is an important part of the curriculum.
