This book provides a concise overview of modern statistical topics at an elementary level. Assuming an understanding of basic calculus and a previous statistics course, it will serve as a reference book for applied statisticians in many quantitative areas who are interested in statistical methods. Each chapter introduces concepts and terminology, develops the rationale for its methods, and gives examples supported by graphs and computer output. There is an emphasis on graphical displays, and computeroutput is given in both S-PLUS and SAS.

Provides and discusses S-PLUS, R, and SAS executable functions and macros for all new graphical display formats All graphs and tabular output in the book were constructed using these programs

Heiberger is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Statistics of Temple University, an elected Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and a former Chair of the Section on Statistical Computing of the American Statistical Association. He was Graduate Chair for the Department of Statistics and Acting Associate Vice Provost for the University. He participated in the design of the linear model and analysis of variance functions while on research leave at Bell Labs. He has taught short courses at the Joint Statistics Meetings, the American Statistical Association Conference on Statistical Practice, the R Users Conference, and the Deming Conference on Applied Statistics. He has consulted with several pharmaceutical companies. Burt Holland was Professor in the Department of Statistics of Temple University, an elected Fellow of the American Statistical Association, Chair of the Department of Statistics of Temple University, and Chair of Collegial Assembly of the Fox School. He has taught short courses at the Joint Statistics Meetings and the Deming Conference on Applied Statistics. He has made many contributions to linear modeling and simultaneous statistical inference. He frequently served as consultant to medical investigators. He developed a very popular General Education course on Statistics and the News.

Klappentext

This presentation of statistical methods features extensive use of graphical displays for exploring data and for displaying the analysis. The authors demonstrate how to analyze data-showing code, graphics, and accompanying computer listings. They emphasize how to construct and interpret graphs, discuss principles of graphical design, and show how tabular results are used to confirm the visual impressions derived from the graphs. Many of the graphical formats are novel and appear here for the first time in print.
