[R] A Regression that will use R for the Computations
In view of the recent discussion on R documentation and R literature for use in teaching, it may be useful to draw attention to a project (at this stage jointly between myself and John Braun) that is at the planning stage. (John Braun, currently at the University of Winnipeg, is moving shortly to the University of Western Ontario.) This will be a monograph on regression methods that will use R for the computation. It will be example-based and oriented towards research students and research workers, i.e. people such as come to the Statistical Consulting Unit (SCU) short courses that I and others run from time to time here at Australian National University. (For a current list, see http://www.anu.edu.au/graduate/scu/courses2000.html) Much of the content for the initial draft already exists, in the form of: (1) Various sets of notes that I have developed for SCU courses; (2) The document "Data Analysis and Graphics Using R - An Introduction", that I have posted on the web (http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~johnm/r/r4dat-gr.html) We would consider co-operation with anyone interested in translation into another language, and/or who can bring to the project skills or application area experience different from that of John and myself. This is not a commitment, simply an indication of willingness to examine such possibilities. I have posted further details of what is in mind at http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/r/outline.html John Maindonald.
