I've also been struggling with R, and I have found the book by Fox which is
recommended on the syllabus to be very helpful.

Gov 2001,
Thanks to everyone who is annotating, turning in the reading quizzes and otherwise
participating in the class. One of the early pieces of feedback we've gotten is
request for more R learning materials. I culled together some R resources that you may or
may not have seen. These are in addition to the resources available on the Course Website
under Computing Documentation, Using R and Zelig.
