G Jay Kerns has published a 400+ page introductory text on Probability and Statistics. All of the examples and illustrations are done using R (as Jay puts it, "The people at the party are Probability and Statistics; the handshake is R") so if you want to brush up on your probability and learn R at the same time, this...

Bootstrap, strap-on, anal-yzing… statistics is getting weirder by the moment
I have spent the better portion of the day trying to get a bootstrap working. I have adapter a pre-written bootstrap function, but I wanted to use a generic function, mostly for reaping fame and glory. My hypothesis was that writing a hand-written, unoptimized function will consume more computer time than the generic, presumably optimized,

Blogging about R – presentation and audio
At the useR!2010 conference I had the honor of giving a (~15 minute) talk titled “Blogging about R”. The following is the abstract I submited, followed by the slides of the talk and the audio file of a recording I made of the talk (I am sad it got a bit of “hall echo”, but it’s still listenable…) P.S:...

IPSUR book used LyX-Sweave
Jay Kerns wrote a book titled "Introduction to Probability and Statistics Using R" or IPSUR for short. He has put up a web site for the book and Rcmdr plugin. There are at least two very important points from my side (I did not read the book, yet): 1. ...
