similar to: The book: S Programming

As of a moment ago (9 a.m., Monday, Jan. 8, 2001), the S Programming book by Venables and Ripley was once again selling for 17.98 American dollars at Amazon.com. Alas, I notice that "Mixed Effects Models in S and S-Plus" by Pinheiro and Bates now lists at Amazon for 97.25 American dollars, as opposed to about $70 a little while ago.

Howdy, I looked at the references in the R and S-Plus literature to find a good introduction/reference to GLM. When I then went to Amazon it seemed to me that all the recommended books are out of print. Can anyone give me a recommendation which _available_ book to get? --Ragnar -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

Hello all: Why arbitrage rarely works. Peter Dalgaard's "Introductory Statistics with R" sells on AMAZON U.S. website at USD 44.95 and on AMAZON U.K at GBP 21.00. At the current exchange rate, the U.K. price translates to USD 32.68, a 27% savings BUT for delivery: the U.S. AMAZON promises 6-10 days whereas in the U.K. 4-6 weeks is promised.

Hi, I have been using R for a few months now and I am confident that the language has everything I will need to complete my PhD. I can create functions, script files and packages, but I would like to write my programs more efficiently (maybe using OO). Can anyone recommend a good book on the "art" of good R programming? Kind Regards, Sam.

Hello: I found that Amazon cannot find a copy of "Statistical Models in S"? I am about to embark on some tree-based and perhaps ANOVA models and have following options: (*) Find another book/online doc that covers this material (perhaps one recommended on the R FAQ page) (*) Use R documentation (*) Try even harder to land the white book. I have a decent conceptual and

Hi, I had read on this thread - http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-03/msg00759.html - (which is about a year old) about a Xen book being written. Any updates or others currently writing books on Xen?

Hello everbody, i'm currently using the anova()-test for a small data.frame of 40 rows and 2 columns. It works well, but is there any preconditions for a valid variance analysis, that i should consider? Thank you for your answer, Daniel

Hi, I am new to R (I have most of my experience in SAS and SPSS). I was wondering if anyone has used both Resampling Stats and R, and could comment on strengths/relationships. Also, I have no clue on how to do the various examples from the book "Resampling: The New Statistics" in R. Can anyone give me some possible starting points? Or websites/books? Thanks, Brandon

Sorry if this is a silly question. I'm trying to extract all elements of a dataframe at a particular row. I can find no mention of this in any documentation and it may be naivety of dataframe on my part as I'm very green at this. Thankyou, Mark

any useful books for learning the R statistical software? are they pricey? and if the books recommended focus on S, how compatible will they be for someone learning R? thank you in advance for your help. P.S. specialized survey statistical procedures? Is R good at that? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, after my publisher has to shut down his business at the end of last year, it took several months to organize everything. But it's done! I'm happy to announce: The Dovecot book is available again.

Hi, The last six months, I've been busy writing "Linux aux petits oignons", a general introduction to GNU/Linux. The book is aimed at the beginner (or intermediate) reader, though : 1) it's *not* based on Ubuntu, but on CentOS 5.3 2) it doesn't shy away from explaining basic UNIX concepts 3) it favours the use of simple command-line tools Here's the editor's page

Just got what seems to be the first spam for a stats book I ever saw. It only has one review at amazon, and for all I know the author wrote it himself. This might be a decent text, but if so, I'd like to hear it from someone here. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Biostatistics Books <biostatbooks at hotmail.com> Date: Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 11:19 AM Subject: Is this the
