Statistical Analysis and Data Display : An Intermediate Course with Examples in S-Plus

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.
