S Programming
S is a high-level language for manipulating, analysing and displayingdata. It forms the basis of two highly acclaimed and widely used dataanalysis software systems, the commercial S-PLUS® and the OpenSource R. This book provides an in-depth guide to writing software inthe S language under either or both of those systems. It is intendedfor readers who have some acquaintance with the S language and want toknow how to use it more effectively, for example to build re-usabletools for streamlining routine data analysis or to implement newstatistical methods.One of the outstanding strengths of the S language is the ease withwhich it can be extended by users. S is a functional language, andfunctions written by users are first-class objects treated in the sameway as functions provided by the system. S code is eminently readableand so a good way to document precisely what algorithms were used, andas much of the implementations are themselves written in S, they can bestudied as models and to understand their subtleties. The currentimplementations also provide easy ways for S functions to callcompiled code written in C, Fortran and similar languages; this isdocumented here in depth.Increasingly S is being used for statistical or graphical analysiswithin larger software systems or for whole vertical-marketapplications. The interface facilities are most developed onWindows® and these are covered with worked examples.The authors have written the widely used Modern Applied Statisticswith S-PLUS, now in its third edition, and several software librariesthat enhance S-PLUS and R; these and the examples used in both booksare available on the Internet.Dr. W.N. Venables is a senior Statistician with the CSIRO/CMISEnvironmetrics Project in Australia, having been at the Department ofStatistics, University of Adelaide for many years previously.Professor B.D. Ripley holds the Chair of Applied Statistics at theUniversity of Oxford, and is the author of four other books on spatialstatistics, simulation, pattern recognition and neural networks. Bothauthors are known and respected throughout the international S and Rcommunities, for their books, workshops, short courses, freelyavailable software and through their extensive contributions to theS-news and R mailing lists.

LEARNING BASE R (SECOND EDITION)
Learning Base R provides an introduction to the language for those with or without prior programming experience. It introduces the key topics that you will need to begin analyzing data and programming in R. The focus here is on the R language rather than a particular application. The text contains over 400 exercises to assess your R skills.

Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis
Now in its second edition, this introductory statistics textbook conveys the essential concepts and tools needed to develop and nurture statistical thinking. It presents descriptive, inductive and explorative statistical methods and guides the reader through the process of quantitative data analysis. This revised and extended edition features new chapters on logistic regression, simple random sampling, including bootstrapping, and causal inference.The text is primarily intended for undergraduate students in disciplines such as business administration, the social sciences, medicine, politics, and macroeconomics. It features a wealth of examples, exercises and solutions with computer code in the statistical programming language R, as well as supplementary material that will enable the reader to quickly adapt the methods to their own applications.

Introduction to Probability Simulation and Gibbs Sampling with R
The first seven chapters use R for probability simulation and computation, including random number generation, numerical and Monte Carlo integration, and finding limiting distributions of Markov Chains with both discrete and continuous states. Applications include coverage probabilities of binomial confidence intervals, estimation of disease prevalence from screening tests, parallel redundancy for improved reliability of systems, and various kinds of genetic modeling. These initial chapters can be used for a non-Bayesian course in the simulation of applied probability models and Markov Chains. Chapters 8 through 10 give a brief introduction to Bayesian estimation and illustrate the use of Gibbs samplers to find posterior distributions and interval estimates, including some examples in which traditional methods do not give satisfactory results. WinBUGS software is introduced with a detailed explanation of its interface and examples of its use for Gibbs sampling for Bayesian estimation.No previous experience using R is required. An appendix introduces R, and complete R code is included for almost all computational examples and problems (along with comments and explanations). Noteworthy features of the book are its intuitive approach, presenting ideas with examples from biostatistics, reliability, and other fields; its large number of figures; and its extraordinarily large number of problems (about a third of the pages), ranging from simple drill to presentation of additional topics. Hints and answers are provided for many of the problems. These features make the book ideal for students of statistics at the senior undergraduate and at the beginning graduate levels.
