sequence that counts up and back down
I hit a minor sticking point working one of the problems in 'Using R'
(Verzani). I'm having difficulty with generating a sequence that goes
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I can make one that counts up, I can make
one that counts down, etc. but one that counts up then down like this
(short of just using c() ) is stumping me.
Any help (on or off list) would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Statitics Textbook - any recommendation?
I would like to buy a basic statistics book (experimental design,
sampling, ANOVA, regression, etc.) with examples in R. Or download it
in PDF or html format.
I went to the CRAN contributed documentation, but there were only R
textbooks, that is, textbooks where R is the focus, not the
statistics. And I would like to find the opposite.
Other text I am trying to find is multivariate data

Stat textbook recommendation
Monte,
For a list of online sources that may be useful, go to
http://www.uvm.edu/~dhowell/methods/Websites/Archives.html
and check out some of the material referenced there. Clay Helberg's site
is particularly helpful. Unfortunately it is virtually impossible to
keep links current, so some are likely to be dead--although you can
often find them via Google.

R book advice
I'm looking for a book for someone completely ignorant of statistics
who wishes to learn both statistics and R. I've found three
possibilities, one by Verzani ("Using R for Introductory Statistics"),
one by Crawley ("Statistics: An Introduction using R"), and one by
Dalgaard ("Introductory Statistics with R"). Do these books have
different emphases,

CentOS lists now searchable via MarkMail.org
Hello,
Just thought I'd drop a note here... a short while ago I was searching
for some info on CentOS, and having been exposed to markmail.org via the
R-project <www.r-project.org> <www.r-project.org>I went to markmail to
do some digging. At that time, they didn't carry the CentOS lists yet,
but after a simple request, now they do. The interface lends itself more

regression model selection
Hello,
Newbie here, be gentle ;)
I have a reference book that discusses regression model selection using
several methods - what they call 'Forward Model Selection' i.e. add one
variable at a time and examining R, R^2, Mallow's C-p value, etc., 'Backward
Model Selection' i.e. starting out with all the variables included and then
remove them one at a time, and examining for

textbook on experimental design?
I'll be teaching a graduate course on (the analysis of) experimental
designs next year, using R. Does anyone know of a suitable textbook?
(Venables and Ripley MASS Ch6 on Linear Models covers roughly the right
material, but at a level that is way too difficult for my students.)
Sorry if this has been asked before. I've looked through the archives and
found Julian Faraway's book, but

problems with numerical optimisation
Dear list,
this is not a particular R question but perhaps someone can help.
I am running a maximum likelihood estimation (competing risk duration
model with unobserved heterogeneity) on 30 different datasets. The
problem is that on 2 datasets the model does not converge. I am
interested if there are any methods, based on the gradients or (an
approximation of) the hessian which helps to

Looking for a textbook that is more concise than Applied Linear Statistical Models (2004 version)
Hi,
I know this is a little bit offtopic on this list. But I can't find a
more appropriate forum that I can ask. If there is a high quality
forum on statistics textbook discussion, please let me know.
I am reading Applied Linear Statistical Models. One drawback that I
feel about this book is that it discuss many examples, which is to
distracting. Numbers are give in those examples. Comments

segments in 3d space
Hi all,
Is it possible to draw line segments in a 3d space plot?
I'm interested to draw the errors from an observed value to the
regression plane, for a textbook example in an Intro Stats handbook for
multiple regression.
I used the scatterplot3d package to draw the regression plane.
Many thanks,

Bootstrap / permutation textbooks
Dear R experts,
I would like to explore if and to what extent bootstrapping and
permutation statistics can help me for my research (functional brain
imaging). I am looking for an introductory textbook, rather legible. I
have statistical knowledge, but I am definitely no statistical or
mathematical guru.
Do you have suggestions for a useful textbook?
Thanks a lot,

Q: extracting data from lm
Warning: I am a complete newbie to R. I have read ISwR, but I am still
finding myself completely stuck on some simple concepts.
I have tried everything I can think of to solve this one, and finally
decided that enough was enough and I need a pointer to a solution.
I have the following summary from lm():

Call:

Comparing the Means of Two Normal Distributions
Dear All,
A problem almost taken from a textbook: I have two independent samples
(which are both assumed to come from a normal distribution).
The sample sizes are N1 and N2, the sample means are x1 and x2 and the
sample standard deviations are s1 and s2 (the standard deviations are
close).
I would like to conduct a two sample t-test with equal variances at
alpha=0.05 (and then remove the

R Textbook for SAS and SPSS Users
Dear Lists,
I got the chance to review Bob Muenchen's book - R for SAS and SPSS users.
While my detailed review is online at www.decisionstats.com, the book is a
welcome addition in R Textbooks for beginners and an especially nice one for
people who have experience in SAS and /or SPSS languages.
AT 50 USD, it's reasonably priced for all geographies (;) , and quite handy

Best R textbook for undergraduates
R-helpers:
I'm sure this question has been asked and answered through the ages, but
given there are some new textbooks out there, I wanted to re-pose it. For
a course that will cover the application of R for general computing and
spatial modeling, what textbook would be best to introduce computing with R
to *undergrads*? I understand Bivand and Pebesma's book is fine for
spatial work,

bar plot colors
All,
I have a question regarding colors in bar plots. I want to stack a
total of 18 cost values in each bar. Basically, it is six cost types and
each cost type has three components- direct, indirect, and induced
costs. I would like to use both solid color bars and bars with the
slanted lines (using the density parameter). The colors would
distinguish cost types and the lines would

Hello & a simple question
Hello,
I'm new to R, but it seems to work nicely for me from the start. Being a
molecular biologist, I do not have a profound knowledge of statistical
reasoning. I have two questions:
1) is there an other manual for R available apart from the `R-intro'
document, especially one with more in-deep description of calculating
basic statistics with R?
...and a more specific one:
2) Suppose
