Dear R and S list members:
I've just published a book entitled An R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied
Regression. The book introduces R and S-PLUS in the context of linear and
generalized-linear models, and assumes familiarity with -- or a
simultaneous course or text on -- these topics. I thought that the book
might be of interest to the members of these lists or to their students.
More information is available on the web site for the book
<http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/>, where you will also
find a variety of supporting materials, including the preface and table of
contents of the book; scripts for the examples; and nine appendices briefly
covering related topics such as nonlinear regression, nonparametric
regression, Cox regression for survival data, and mixed-effects models.
The book is published by Sage Publications; information about ordering it
may be found on the Sage web site, at
<http://www.sagepub.com/Shopping/Detail.asp?id=27724>.
Thanks for your attention (and apologies for the double-posting),
John
