Some Useful Resources

Modern Applied Statistics

The main resource for this course is the book "Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus" by Venables and Ripley. WE will refer to this book as MASS. There are four editions: These links will give you an idea of the contents of the various editions.

Statistical complements

The pdf files VR3stat.pdf and VR4stat.pdf contain extra material not included in the published versions of MASS. The first pdf file contains supplemetary material not included in the 3rd Edition. Most of the material in this file appears in the fourth edition. The second pdf file contains supplementary material for the 4th Edition.

R complements

The analyses in the third edition all use S-Plus rather than R. The pdf file VR3R.pdf contains supplemetary material that is useful for running the analyses in R. There is some R material in the 4th Edition.

Exercises and model answers

The pdf files VR3ex.pdf and VR4ex.pdf contain exercises and model answers from the 3rd and 4th Editions respectively.
