Probability and Statistics with R (eBook, ePUB)

Praise for the First Edition:
"This book covers a wide range of topics in both theoretical and applied statistics ... Detailed executable codes and codes to generate the figures in each chapter are available online ... nicely blend[s] mathematical statistics, statistical inference, statistical methods, and computational statistics using S language ... . Students or self-learners can learn some basic techniques for using R in statistical analysis on their way to learning about various topics in probability and statistics. This book also could serve as a wonderful stand-alone textbook in probability and statistics if the computational statistics portions are skipped."
-Technometrics, May 2009

"The book is comprehensive and well written. The notation is clear and the mathematical derivations behind nontrivial equations and computational implementations are carefully explained. Rather than presenting a collection of R scripts together with a summary of relevant theoretical results, this book offers a well-balanced mix of theory, examples and R code."
-The American Statistician, February 2009

"... an impressive book ... this is a good reference book with comprehensive coverage of the details of statistical analysis and application that the social researcher may need in their work. I would recommend it as a useful addition to the bookshelf."
