Texts and references
There is no single text for this course. I have drawn material from the original literature and from the following sources.
- R.P. Abelson (1995) Statistics as Principled Argument
Highly readable discussion of how to make a statistical argument.
Very little Math and not much on linear models.
- A. C. Atkinson Plots, Transformations and Regression
Nice discussion of diagnostic plots.
- D. A. Belsley, E. Kuh, and R. E. Welsch (1980)
Regression Diagnostics: Identifying Influential Data and Sources
of Collinearity
Discussion of SVD as a tool for sensitivity analysis.
- Box, Hunter and Hunter (1978) Statistics for Experimenters: An
Introduction to Design, Data Analysis, and Model Building
Excellent reference. Not too heavy on the mathematics. Clear.
-
J. M. Chambers (1977) Computational Methods for Data Analysis
Good explanation of why X(X'X)-1X' is not the way to go.
- J. M.Chambers, W. S. Cleveland, B. Kleiner, and P. A. Tukey (1983)
Graphical Method for Data Analysis
Very clear explanations about standard diagnostic plots.
- J.M. Chambers and T.J. Hastie (1992)
Statistical Models in S
Detailed descriptions of model fitting in S.
-
R.D. Cook and S. Weisberg Residuals and Influence in Regression
-
R. A. Fisher (1935 first ed., eight editions) The Design of Experiments
A classic.
-
Golub and Van Loan (1983 first ed., 1989 second ed.)
Matrix computations
Good discussion of SVD and least squares
-
D. Freedman (2005)
Statistical Models: Theory and Practice
Insightful, modern text.
- LINPACK Users' Guide (1986).
General descriptions of algorithms. Clear. (Splus uses some
LINPACK ideas. MatLab grew out of LINPACK, I think.)
- P. McCullagh and J. A. Nelder (1983 first ed., 1989 second ed.)
Generalized Linear Models
The standard reference. Big second edition.
- K. V. Mardia, J. T. Kent, and J. M. Bibby (1979)
Multivariate Analysis
Good source for mathematics of principal components, etc.
- F. Mosteller and J.W. Tukey (1977)
Data Analysis and Regression: a second course in statistics
Much wisdom about regression.
- H. Scheffé (1959)
The Analysis of Variance
Thorough for its time. Not for bedtime reading.
- R documentation
-
W. N. Venables and B. D. Ripley (2002)
Modern Applied Statistics with S
A good general reference for the S language and its offspring (including R). It also has very terse
accounts of
several topics in this course.
