Extending the Linear Model with R

Published by CRC Press

• Preface and Table of Contents
• The book refers to many datasets that can only be found in the "faraway" package that needs to be added to R. Windows and Macintosh users will find it most convenient to select the "Install packages from CRAN" option under the "Package" menu while running R, and then choose "faraway" from the list of packages. A source version of the code can be obtained from the R web site.
• The data from the faraway package in ASCII format. These are provided for the convenience of users of statistical software other than R. Users of R should install the faraway package.
• The R commands used in text.
• Errata. The lme4 package, used to fit models with random effects and used extensively in Chapters 8 and 9, has undergone substantial changes since the publication of the book. Please (last updated August 2010) read about changes to these two chapters to address this as well as some discussion of other inferential methods that could be used.
