[R] new edition of R Companion to Applied Regression

[John Fox]

Dear all,

Sandy Weisberg and I would like to announce the publication of the second
edition of An R Companion to Applied Regression (Sage, 2011).

As is immediately clear, the book now has two authors and S-PLUS is gone
from the title (and the book). The R Companion has also been thoroughly
rewritten, covering developments in the nearly 10 years since the first
edition was written and expanding coverage of topics such as R graphics and
R programming. As before, however, the R Companion provides a general
introduction to R in the context of applied regression analysis, broadly
construed. It is available from the publisher at
<http://www.sagepub.com/books/Book233899?> (US) or
<http://www.uk.sagepub.com/books/Book233899?> (UK), and from Amazon at
<http://www.amazon.ca/R-Companion-Applied-Regression/dp/141297514X/ref=sr_1_
3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1291995545&sr=1-3>.

The book is augmented by a web site
<http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/> with data sets,
appendices on a variety of topics, and more, and it associated with the car
package on CRAN, which has recently undergone an overhaul.

Regards,
 John and Sandy
