- Textbooks: These are available in PDF format free of charge. The texts are mostly for background reading, in case you want a more detailed treatment of material that is covered in lecture, or you want to go beyond what is covered in lecture.
- 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.
- Linear models in statistics
(2008) by A. C. Renscher and B. G. Schaalje. A strong masters level regression text.
It's narrower than Davison, but more complete in terms of the proofs.
- Data analysis with SAS (2012) by J. Brunner. This is a free, open source
undergraduate text emphasizing verbal rather than mathematical
reasoning, with lots of SAS examples. It's a draft, still in
preparation but possibly useful at times.
-
Introduction to R by Venables, Smith and
others. This free 100 page document is very helpful if you
plan to do any serious work with R.
- Data sets from homework and lectures. Some R and SAS program files from lecture are also available here.
