On: How Google and Facebook are using R

Are there any good videos online for learning the statistics behind R? Most of the R videos I've seen have been focused on the tool, not the statistics behind the tool.

Statistics is statistics -- just get a good introductory statistics textbook. MIT's OpenCourseWare is probably a good start, maybe this: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-443Fall2003/CourseH...

You might want to check out the "Stats 202" course which is based on a class given at Stanford. R is the tool used throughout the course:

All lectures given by David Mease at Google have been recorded and are available online:
