From the reviews: "The goal of the authors 'is to help you translate what you know about Stata into a working knowledge of R as quickly and easily as possible' ... . the book is apparently aimed at someone who wishes to switch from Stata to R. ... many chapters include Stata code and R code to do exactly the same thing (particularly in the data manipulation chapters) and these are helpful." (Richard Goldstein, Technometrics, Vol. 53 (4), November, 2011)
