Hello!  Thank you for viewing this page.  Given the movement toward incorporating R in statistical analysis here at Carleton, I have created this little sub-page of information.  Posted material includes user-manuals and tutorials for both beginning and advanced users.  Once again, thank you for your consideration.  If you have any questions, email me <BhalaS@carleton.edu> or Paula Lackie <PLackie@carleton.edu> and we will try our best to help.
