ABSTRACT
This chapter provides some information on how basic operations are carried out in R. Since there are many good reference books at the introductory level, the explanations that follow are fairly limited. If the user has any difficulty understanding the content of the subsequent sections, the first resource to consult is possibly Venables et al. (2014), particularly Appendix A. This manual as well as other useful documents are freely available from the website for R (https://www.r-project.org/).
