Two cents from a non-statistician:
- I really like the idea of a repository for existing
introductions and workbooks. I regularly check the
home pages of contributors to this list, and on some,
I have found very useful texts created for class use.
- For the non-statistician, a R companion to the most common
stats textbooks would be useful. This way, you don't have
to rack your brains trying to write the umpteenth crystal-clear
account of ANOVA. Instead, you would "merely" need to
relate the description in the book to what you'd find in R.
For example, I think that for German psychologists and sociologists
migrating from SPSS to R, a companion to the infamous Bortz book
would be most welcome,
For corpus linguists and computational linguists, a similar companion
would address selected papers from Computational Linguistics (the journal),
as well as a widespread textbook.
I can't offer to write these companions at the moment, because I'm busy
writing up my Ph.D. thesis and honing my time planning skills in the process,
but if enough people were interested, I'd give at least the linguistics
companion a try.
have a nice day,
Maria Wolters
