[in behalf of John Kimmel and Kurt Hornik:] [PDF version for nice printing attached at the end] NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT and REQUEST FOR BOOK PROPOSALS Springer announces a series of books called UseR! edited by Robert Gentleman, Kurt Hornik, and Giovanni Parmigiani. This series of inexpensive and focused books on R will publish shorter books aimed at practitioners. Books can discuss the use of R in a particular subject area (e.g., epidemiology, econometrics, psychometrics) or as it relates to statistical topics (e.g., missing data, longitudinal data). In most cases, books are to be written as combinations of LaTeX and R so that all the code for figures and tables can be put on a website. Authors should assume a background as supplied by ?Dalgaard s Introductory Statistics with R? so that each book does not repeat basic material. Springer will supply a LaTeX style file, all books will be reviewed and copyedited, and faster production schedules will be used. To propose a book, please contact John Kimmel Executive Editor, Statistics Springer 24494 Alta Vista Dr. Dana Point, CA 92629 john.kimmel@springer-sbm.com Telephone: 949-487-1216 Fax: 949-240-4321 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
