practical sessions. All participants will be provided with a personal
computer for the exercises, and tutors will be constantly on hand to
assist with questions. All those who apply in advance are entitled to
a free copy of the book "Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS" to
assist in preparation for the course.
Who will benefit:
Data analysts who use standard modelling techniques and want to know
how to apply them effectively in S-PLUS. This course will improve and
extend your statistical modelling skills and programming techniques.
Includes:
Review of S-PLUS language and graphics, design, linear modelling,
generalised linear modelling, nonlinear regression models, tree based
modelling. The advanced programming techniques include object
oriented programming, language manipulation, efficiency, and clever
debugging. A sneak preview of S-PLUS 5 (based on the new S 4
language) will be provided.
Recommended Prerequisites:
Some knowledge of the theory of linear models, S-PLUS object types,
