"...suitable as a reference book for experienced statisticians, a vehicle for learning the S statistical computing language, or a resource for statistics instructors..." (The American Statistician, Vol. 58, No. 1, February 2004) "...especially useful as an introduction to a wide variety of data analysis techniques." (R News) "...The book is well written - there is an air of common sense throughout - and is at a level which ensures its usefulness for a wide range of readers..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1001, No.01, 2003) "...the book is a useful and practical introduction to many areas of statistical data analysis." (Computational STatistics & Data Analysis) "...surely not the last statistics book you’ll ever need, but it might well be the first you will ever really use." (Basic Applied Ecology, Vol. 4, No. 3) "...recommended...contains a wealth of sage advice..." (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 4, November 2003) “...a practical introduction to statistics...does not cover all...sophisticated statistical and graphical features of the S-Plus system, but provides a first class starting point—and, probably, for most readers, a sufficient end point.” (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, LXI, No. 4, December 2003) “…a valiant and useful first attempt to present both statistics and S-PLUS together…” (Journal of The Royal Statistical Society Vol.167 No.4)
S-Plus gehört ohne Zweifel zu den leistungsfähigsten und flexibelsten Softwarepaketen für die Statistik. Es umfaßt vielfältigste statistische Methoden von der einfachen Regression bis hin zu Zeitreihen oder multivariater Analyse. Mit diesem Buch arbeiten Sie sich auch als Nicht-Statistiker in grundlegende und fortgeschrittene statistische Verfahren ein; ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der graphischen Darstellung. Hunderte Beispiele veranschaulichen die Verfahren. Die zugehörige Website enthält Beispiele, Datensammlungen, Übungen und Lösungen.
