R in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition

What’s New in the Second Edition?

This edition isn’t a total rewrite of the first book. But I have tried to improve the book in a few significant ways:

• There are new chapters on ggplot2 and using R with Hadoop.

• Formatting changes should make code examples easier to read.

• I’ve changed the order of the book slightly, grouping the plotting chapters together.

• I’ve made some minor updates to reflect changes in R 2.14 and R 2.15.

• There are some new sections on useful tools for manipulating data in R, such as plyr and reshape.

• I’ve corrected dozens of errors.
