Boca Raton, Florida: CRC Press, 2008. NEW and unread in near PERFECT condition. The cover has only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store). NO chips, tears, creases or fading. Bright and shiny. Flat, uncreased spine. Square and tight. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. 2008. First printing of the First Edition with complete number row (10 987654321) on the copyright page. Bound in the original green laminated boards, stamped in white and black. 7.25" wide by 10.25" tall. From the publisher: "Designed for an intermediate undergraduate course, PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS WITH R shows students how to solve various statistical problems using both parametric and nonparametric techniques via the open source software R. It provides numerous real-world examples, carefully explained proofs, end-of-chapter problems, and illuminating graphs to facilitate hands-on learning. Integrating theory with practice, the text briefly introduces the syntax, structures, and functions of the S language, before covering important graphically and numerically descriptive methods. The next several chapters elucidate probability and random variables topics, including univariate and multivariate distributions. After exploring sampling distributions, the authors discuss point estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and a wide range of nonparametric methods. With a focus on experimental design, the book also presents fixed- and random-effects models as well as randomized block and two-factor factorial designs. The final chapter describes simple and multiple regression analyses. Demonstrating that R can be used as a powerful teaching aid, this comprehensive text presents extensive treatments of data analysis using parametric and nonparametric techniques. It effectively links statistical concepts with R procedures, enabling the application of the language to the vast world of statistics.". First Printing of the First Edition. Oversize Hardcover. New condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. xxvi, 700pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Review
―Technometrics, May 2009, Vol. 51, No. 2
The book is comprehensive and well written. The notation is clear and the mathematical derivations behind nontrivial equations and computational implementations are carefully explained. Rather than presenting a collection of R scripts together with a summary of relevant theoretical results, this book offers a well-balanced mix of theory, examples and R code.
―Raquel Prado, University of California, Santa Cruz, The American Statistician, February 2009
... an impressive book ... Overall, this is a good reference book with comprehensive coverage of the details of statistical analysis and application that the social researcher may need in their work. I would recommend it as a useful addition to the bookshelf.
―Eirini Koutoumanou, University College London, Significance, December 2008

Store description
About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
