About this title

Review

"For those who...find learning by example to be efficient and effective, the book is a worthwhile investment. useful as a way for students or applied statisticians to get up to speed quickly on using S-Plus. The book has several strengths: It is well organized and easy to read; The examples cover a broad range of standard statistical methods, and are general enough to be understood by readers from a variety of disciplines; At the same time, the examples are involved enough to provide substantive engagement with the software ...There is enough statistical background to flesh out the examples, but not so much that the emphasis on learning the software is lost. "This volume is a worthwhile investment for students or statisticians who want to improve their facility with S-Plus and who learn well from examples." - The American Statistician. Judith Manola, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute "The book does a nice job working with the biggest differentiator for S-PLUS the book really works best to help persons familiar with statistical tools as they get started on analyses using S-Plus." - Eric R. Ziegel, Technometrics, August 2002
