>
>A Handbook of Statistical Analyses using R Brian S. Everitt and Torsten 
>Hothorn
>
>With emphasis on the use of R and the interpretation of results rather 
>than the theory behind the methods, this book addresses particular 
>statistical techniques and demonstrates how they can be applied to one or 
>more data sets using R. The authors provide a concise introduction to R, 
>including a summary of its most important features. They cover a variety 
>of topics, such as simple inference, generalized linear models, multilevel 
>models, longitudinal data, cluster analysis, principal components 
>analysis, and discriminant analysis. With numerous figures and exercises, 
>A Handbook of Statistical Analysis using R provides useful information for 
>students as well as statisticians and data analysts. All datasets and code 
>used in the book are available as a downloadable package from CRAN.

>Discounted Price: $39.96/£23.99

>Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R Simon N. Wood
>
>This book aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the 
>theory and practical applications of GAMs, to enable informed use of these 
>very flexible tools and related advanced models. The author's approach is 
>based on a framework of penalized regression splines, and he provides a 
>well grounded introduction through motivating chapters on linear and 
>generalized linear models, as well as covering more advanced extensions 
>via a final chapter on mixed models, including GAMMs. The author uses the 
>R software throughout to explain the underlying theory and illustrate the 
>practicalities of linear, generalized linear and generalized additive 
>models, as well as their mixed effect extensions. Background theory on 
>likelihood, matrix algebra and the geometry of model estimation is also 
>provided, so that the book is reasonably self contained. Each chapter has 
>exercises for which complete solutions are provided in an appendix. An R 
>package containing the featured datasets is also freely available through CRAN.

>Extending the Linear Model with R: Generalized Linear, Mixed Effects and 
>Nonparametric Regression Models Julian J. Faraway
>
>This book surveys the techniques that grow from the regression model, 
>presenting three extensions to that framework: generalized linear models 
>(GLMs), mixed effect models, and nonparametric regression models. The 
>author's treatment is thoroughly modern and covers topics that include GLM 
>diagnostics, generalized linear mixed models, trees, and even the use of 
>neural networks in statistics. To demonstrate the interplay of theory and 
>practice, throughout the book the author weaves the use of the R software 
>environment to analyze the data of real examples, providing all of the R 
>commands necessary to reproduce the analyses.

>Robust Statistical Methods with R
>Jana Jureckova and Jan Picek
>
>This book provides a systematic treatment of robust procedures with an 
>emphasis on practical application. The authors work from underlying 
>mathematical tools to implementation, paying special attention to the 
>computational aspects. They cover the whole range of robust methods, 
>including differentiable statistical functions, distance of measures, 
>influence functions, and asymptotic distributions, in a rigorous yet 
>approachable manner. Highlighting hands-on problem solving, many examples 
>and computational algorithms using the R software supplement the 
>discussion. The book examines the characteristics of robustness, 
>estimators of real parameter, large sample properties, and goodness-of-fit 
>tests. It also includes a brief overview of R in an appendix for those 
>with little experience using the software.

>Using R for Introductory Statistics
>John Verzani
>
>This book fills a gap as a true introduction to statistics using R. With 
>emphasis on data analysis and practical examples, it encourages 
>understanding rather than focusing on learning the underlying theory. It 
>includes a large collection of exercises and numerous practical examples 
>from a broad range of scientific disciplines. It comes complete with an 
>online resource containing datasets, R functions, selected solutions to 
>exercises, and updates to the latest features. A full solutions manual is 
>available from Chapman & Hall/CRC.

>Linear Models with R
>Julian J. Faraway
>
>Focussed on the practice of regression and analysis of variance, this book 
>clearly demonstrates the different methods available and in which 
>situations each one applies. It covers all of the standard topics, from 
>the basics of estimation to missing data, factorial designs, and block 
>designs, but it also includes discussion of topics, such as model 
>uncertainty, rarely addressed in books of this type. The presentation 
>incorporates an abundance of examples that clarify both the use of each 
>technique and the conclusions one can draw from the results.

>theory with a range of applications from data mining, financial 
>engineering, and the biosciences. Implementation of the methods is
