Review
From the reviews:
TECHNOMETRICS
"...a well-organized, nicely conceived book that will be useful to practitioners with S-PLUS in any environment."
SHORT BOOK REVIEWS
"This book presents a survey of modern methods used in, but not confined to, medical statistics, each accompanied by a brief summary of the mathematical components, instruction in the basics of the S-PLUS computer language, up-to-date references, examples using sets of data from medical research, and S-PLUS code for the examples. The sets of data and S-PLUS code are available for downloading from a website referenced in the book (some but not all of the S-PLUS code runs in R, the freeware counterpart of S). ... The book will be a handy reference on my consulting shelf."
"In this book, Everitt and Rabe-Hesketh demonstrate how to use S-PLUS, while giving a broad overview of many analytical methods ... . I recommend it for the practicing statistician who either wants to learn about S-PLUS or who already uses S-PLUS and wants ideas for additional usage. ... There are two types of courses for which this book might be considered as a text: statistical computing and statistical methods. ... students may want to purchase it to serve as an overview of statistical methods ... ." (Jeffrey D. Dawson, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 98 (463), 2003)
"The title of this book is well chosen. It is about the analysis of medical data ... . the authors cover the main techniques of numerical and graphical statistical analyses ... . Moreover, there are examples ... with the data and the scripts and useful graphical displays. Users can edit the scripts and use them to build their own analyses. People work most efficiently in doing statistical analysis by using existing examples and transforming them to new tasks. In this the authors provide value." (John C. Nash, Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Vol. 13 (5), 2004)
"This book presents the statistical techniques that are most often used in medicine through examples solved with the statistical software S-PLUS. ... The section on S-PLUS code is very well explained, and it is easy to identify how an analysis arises ... . The most interesting contributions of this book are the examples, which are varied and related to epidemiology or clinical studies. ... Finally, the data sets and S-PLUS code to analyse them are offered at the authors’ Web site ... ." (Victor Moreno, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, Vol. 157 (3), 2004)
"This is a book about extracting meaningful data from even the most limited or complex systems ... . It provides useful examples taken from real world situations, with short descriptions of the methodologies that should be enough to get one on track to understand and use them. It also includes sample code for repeating the analysis using S-PLUS. ... All methods, up to highly-specialised modelling approaches are summarily described in side boxes with appropriate pointers to more detailed descriptions in the literature." (José Ramón Valverde, Briefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics, Vol. 2 (2), 2003)
"It covers a range of statistical methods useful in the analysis of medical data, from the simple to the sophisticated, and shows how they may be applied using S-PLUS. ... The main text is a pleasure to read partly due to its separation from the technical descriptions of the statistics and methodology which are given in ‘display’ items ... . It is possible that, for the field of medical statistics, ‘Everitt and Rabe-Hesketh’ will also become a classic amongst the S-PLUS community." (Margaret May, International Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 32 (1), 2003)
"The aim of the book is to show how to use S-PLUS as a powerful environment for undertaking a variety of statistical analyses from simple inference to complex model fitting, and for providing informative graphics. ... The mix of real data examples and background theory makes this book useful for students and researchers alike. For the former, exercises are provided at the end of each chapter to increase their fluency in using the command line language of the S-PLUS software." (T. Postelnicu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 985, 2002)

Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the "Buy now" button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
