-
Linear models with R (2009) by J. Faraway.
- Linear models in statistics
(2008) by A. C. Renscher and B. G. Schaalje. A strong masters level regression text.
- Statistical
models (2003) by A. C. Davison. This is the place to look if you want
the real truth about almost any applied statistical topic.
-
Introduction to R by Venables, Smith and
others. This free 100 page document is very helpful if you
plan to do serious work with R.
- Data sets and R code from lectures, and data sets from homework.
