J Horton, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, USA Publication Date: July 2009 Number of Pages: 360 This book shows how equivalent statistical methods can be applied in either SAS or R, enabling users of each software to learn how to apply the methods in the other. It covers data management, simple statistical procedures, modeling and regression, and graphics. Each section begins with a brief introduction to the procedures and then presents the code for each software side-by-side. The book provides detailed worked examples together with output from the software to illustrate how the methods are applied in practice. It also includes an index for both SAS and R, which will be useful to a wide range of users. Discounted Price: $55.96 / £35.99 For more details and to order: http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781420070576 *** Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation Using R Owen Jones, Robert Maillardet and Andrew Robinson, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia Publication Date: March 2009 Number of Pages: 472 This book teaches the skills needed to perform scientific programming while also introducing stochastic modelling. Stochastic modelling in particular, and mathematical modelling in general, are intimately linked to scientific programming because the numerical techniques of scientific programming enable the practical application of mathematical models to real-world problems. Assuming no prior knowledge of programming or probability, the book is organised into four main sections, covering Programming in R, A primer on numerical mathematics, A self-contained introduction to probability theory and Simulation. Unlike most guides to R, this volume is not about the application of statistical techniques, but rather shows how to turn algorithms into code. It is for those who want to make tools, not just use them.

Trosset, University of Indiana, Bloomington, IN, U.S.A. Publication Date: June 2009 Number of Pages: 504 With an emphasis on explaining how and why statistical methods are used to analyze data, this book introduces several important procedures: one and two sample location problems, one way analysis of variance, and simple linear regression. The book presents numerous applications and supporting datasets throughout along with historical background to illustrate the material. Offering a modern approach that focuses on the interpretation of data, it features an appendix that provides instruction on the use of R as well as datasets and simulation. In addition, R code is available for download on the web.

Everitt, King's College, University of London, UK and Torsten Hothorn, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, Germany Publication Date: July 2009 Number of Pages: 376 Like its predecessor, this second edition provides a guide to data analysis using the R system for statistical computing. This edition contains new chapters on graphical displays, generalized additive models, and simultaneous inference as well as a new section on generalized linear mixed models that completes the discussion on the analysis of longitudinal data where the response variable does not have a normal distribution. The authors include new examples and more exercises in several chapters. They also offer a new version of the HSAUR package (HSAUR2), which is available from CRAN.

Integrating R code and examples throughout, the text only requires basic knowledge of statistics and computing. It covers one-sample analysis and distribution diagnostics, regression, two-sample problems and comparison of distributions, and multivariate analysis. It uses a range of examples to demonstrate how R can be employed to tackle statistical problems. In addition, the handy appendix includes a collection of R language elements and functions, serving as a quick reference and starting point to access the rich information that comes bundled with R.

With a focus on computational tools, the book shows readers how to improve their awareness of what tasks can be achieved and describes the correct approach to perform these tasks. The author first discusses how to write computer code using HTML as a concrete example. He then covers a variety of data storage topics, including different file formats, XML, and the structure and design issues of relational databases. After illustrating how to extract data from a relational database using SQL, the book presents tools and techniques for searching, sorting, tabulating, and manipulating data. It also introduces some very basic programming concepts as well as the R language for statistical computing. Each of these topics has supporting chapters that offer reference material on HTML, CSS, XML, DTD, SQL, R, and regular expressions.

MacDonald, University of Cape Town, South Africa Publication Date: April 2009 Number of Pages: 288 This book applies hidden Markov models (HMMs) to a wide range of time series types, from continuous-valued, circular, and multivariate series to binary data, bounded and unbounded counts, and categorical observations. It also discusses how to employ the freely available computing environment R to carry out computations for parameter estimation, model selection and checking, decoding, and forecasting. After presenting the simple Poisson HMM, the book covers estimation, forecasting, decoding, prediction, model selection, and Bayesian inference. Through examples and applications, the authors describe how to extend and generalize the basic model so it can be applied in a rich variety of situations. They also provide R code for some of the examples, enabling the use of the codes in similar applications.

It implements the algorithms in Perl and R, two widely used scripting languages in computational biology. The book supplies a comprehensive view of the whole field of combinatorial pattern matching from a computational biology perspective. Along with thorough discussions of each biological problem, it includes detailed algorithmic solutions in pseudo-code, full Perl and R implementation, and pointers to other software, such as those on CPAN and CRAN.
