[R-sig-teaching] Free textbook

[Ista Zahn]

Thanks for the link to Bolker's book! It looks very interesting. The one
I had in mind was "The foundations of statistics: A simulation-based
approach" by Shravan Vasishth, available here:
http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~vasishth/SFLS.html
What I really like about Vasishth's work is the relatively informal and
straightforward style, which I think will be appealing to my students.
Bolker's text looks like something I would want to read, but I'm not
sure my students are ready for it.

Thanks again,
Ista
