"R is an increasingly popular programming in statistics and data science. This well-presented and timely book builds a critical bridge between SAS and R, which is particularly appropriate for students and researchers with knowledge and experiencing in using SAS language to gain programming proficiency in R language. I highly recommend this very insightful book to statisticians, data scientists, social scientists, psychologists, biologists, public health researchers and practitioners, and clinicians who are familiar with SAS to harness the magnificent power of R. I would use this book as a major reference book for a biostatistics course on R."~Tianhua Niu, Tulane University School of Medicine
