| Introduction to Statistics Through Resampling Methods and R/S-PLUS(r) aspires to introduce statistical methodology to a wide audience, simply, intuitively, and efficiently, through resampling from data at hand and by way of the computer programs R and S-PLUS. The objective of the book is to use quantitative methods to characterize, review, report on, test, estimate, and classify findings.
Features include:
* The R and S-PLUS? programming are used to illustrate the concepts and to aid the reader in completing the exercises. R may be downloaded, without charge, for use under Windows, UNIX, or the Macintosh.
* One hundred or more exercises included in each chapter plus dozens of thought-provoking questions serve the needs of both classroom and self-study. The discovery method is utilized as often as possible, thereby forcing the conscientious reader to think her or his way to a solution rather than copy the answer or apply a formula straight out of the text
* Chatty, informal, sometimes humorous writing style allows greater access to a variety of reader backgrounds and interests
* Covers unusual topics such as tests and estimation procedures for one, two, and many samples; correlation; multivariable analysis; and complex experimental designs
* Provides a web site free of charge to all end-users that includes all data sets and programs in the text |
