Bill is a long-time contributor first to the S, then the
S-PLUS and now the R and S-PLUS community. He has written
over 80 research articles and co-authored two books with
Brian Ripley on using S for data analysis and graphics,
both of which enjoy classic status with some groups of
readers. He is a frequent contributor to R-help and S-news
and for over twelve years has regularly given workshops and
short courses on programming, data analysis and graphics
using the S language, mainly in Australia, but also in
New Zealand, Germany, Holland, the UK and the USA.
And now for the first time in Ireland!!!
Course description:

This one-day course will cover aspects of using
R at two levels.
In the morning course we deal with:
