Reason for this is the close resemblance between R and S. The nlme-package, available in R-Project for estimation of both linear and non-linear multilevel models, is written and maintained by the authors of this book. ]]> http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-25-book-mixed-effects-models-in-s-and-s-plus-pinheiro-bates-2000/feed/ 5 http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-24/ http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-24/#comments Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:00:57 +0000 Rense Nieuwenhuis http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/?p=613 For those who have theoretical knowledge on statistics and regression techniques, and who want to learn to use R-Project to analyze some data, John Fox wrote just the book. The introductory chapter shows the most basic aspects of R-Project. Halfway this chapter the reader finds himself analyzing real data using regression techniques. The following chapters introduce the reader to other aspects of the analytical process: reading data into your statistical program, exploring the data and performing some bivariate tests. Then, three full chapters are devoted to regression techniques. While working on practical examples, the reader is introduced to more fundamental aspects of the R-Project software where needed. ]]> http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-24/feed/ 2 http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-23-book-data-analysis-using-regression-and-multilevelhierarchical-models-gelman-hill-2007/ http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-23-book-data-analysis-using-regression-and-multilevelhierarchical-models-gelman-hill-2007/#comments Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:00:05 +0000 Rense Nieuwenhuis http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/?p=608 Andrew Gelman is known for his expertise on Bayesian statistics. Based on that knowledge he wrote a book in multilevel regression using R and WINbugs. This book aims to be a thorough description of (multilevel) regression techniques, implementation of these techniques in R and bugs, and a guide on interpreting the results of your analyses. Shortly put, the books excels on all three subjects. ]]> http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-23-book-data-analysis-using-regression-and-multilevelhierarchical-models-gelman-hill-2007/feed/ 1 http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-22-introductory-statistics-with-r-peter-dalgaard-2002/ http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/r-sessions-22-introductory-statistics-with-r-peter-dalgaard-2002/#comments Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:00:56 +0000 Rense Nieuwenhuis http://www.rensenieuwenhuis.nl/?p=598 Peter Dalgaard is associate professor at the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and a member of the R-Project Core Development team.
