R help - Dec 2011 - ANNOUNCEMENT: Call for Proposals for The R Series from Chapman & Hall/CRC

Chapman & Hall/CRC: The R Series

 

We are delighted to announce that our new series of books on R is up and
running, with two books already published and another nine forthcoming
(including three set to publish in 2012). We are keen to receive proposals for
books covering all aspects of the development and application of R software. If
you have an idea for a book, please contact one of the series editors or one of
the Chapman & Hall/CRC statistics acquisitions editors below. Please provide
brief details of topic, audience, aims and scope, and include an outline if
possible.

 

Aims and Scope

This book series reflects the recent rapid growth in the development and
application of R, the programming language and software environment for
statistical computing and graphics. R is now widely used in academic research,
education, and industry. It is constantly growing, with new versions of the core
software released regularly and more than 2,600 packages available. It is
difficult for the documentation to keep pace with the expansion of the software,
and this vital book series provides a forum for the publication of books
covering many aspects of the development and application of R.

 

The scope of the series is wide, covering three main threads:

·         Applications of R to specific disciplines such as biology,
epidemiology, genetics, engineering, finance, and the social sciences.

·         Using R for the study of topics of statistical methodology, such as
linear and mixed modeling, time series, Bayesian methods, and missing data.

·         The development of R, including programming, building packages, and
graphics.

 

The books will appeal to programmers and developers of R software, as well as
applied statisticians and data analysts in many fields. The books will feature
detailed worked examples and R code fully integrated into the text, ensuring
their usefulness to researchers, practitioners and students.
