An R “meta” book by Joseph Rickert.
From the post:
Recently, however, while crawling around CRAN, it occurred to me that there is a tremendous amount of high quality material on a wide range of topics in the Contributed Documentation page that would make a perfect introduction to all sorts of people coming to R. Maybe, all it needs is a little marketing and reorganization. So, from among this treasure cache (and a few other online sources), I have assembled an R “meta” book in the following table that might be called: An R Based Introduction to Probability and Statistics with Applications.
What a very clever idea! There is lots of documentation already written and organizing it is simpler than re-doing it all from scratch. Not to mention less time consuming.
Take a close look at Joseph’s “meta” book and see what you think.
Perhaps there are other “meta” books hiding in the Contributed Documentation.
I first saw this in a tweet by David Smith.
