Can we get an e-mail from people using these materials?
For reporting purposes, it would be useful to get an indication of the
number of people making use of these materials. Please drop a line to
jverzani at gmail.com if you do
We use them here at CSI, and despite there not being many new projects
for awhile, there are still plans for some a few more.

numeric summaries of univariate data, graphical summaries of
univariate data, correlation, fitting simple linear regression models,
and data extraction by index and logical vectors (indicator
variables).

The Stem and Tendril simplified R manual
In the stRmanual directory you can find some simplified help pages for

the functions, rather than as a replacement for R's own help system.
