Rezensionen

Praise for the First Edition:
"... an excellent tutorial on the R language, providing examples that illustrate programming concepts in the context of practical computational problems. The book will be of great interest for all specialists working on computational statistics and Monte Carlo methods for modeling and simulation."
-Tzvetan Semerdjiev, Zentralblatt Math, 2008, Vol. 1137

"Statistical computing and computational statistics are two areas of statistics described as computational, graphical, and numerical approaches to solving statistical problems. Statistical Computing with R comprises, thorough and examples-based approach, the conventional core material of computational statistics with an emphasis on R... This book includes standard statistical computing topics using the R language... All examples in the text are realised in R. Software is actively maintained, it has good connectivity to various types of data and other systems, and it is versatile. In addition, R is very stable and reliable... The book also includes exercises and applications in all chapters, as well as coverage of recent advances including R Studio. Many examples are included, fully implemented in the R statistical
computing environment, and the R code for the examples can be downloaded from the author's website. Most examples and exercises apply datasets accessible in the R distribution or simulated data. The author, Maria L. Rizzo, is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of Bowling Green State University (US) and is an expert on Applied Statistics, Statistical Computing, and Energy Statistics... After finishing the book, I feel that it is a well-written text useful for biostatisticians and graduate teachers, principally because it is written by a leading expert who is engaged in statistical modelling and methodological developments and applications in the real world. In my opinion, the book is a must-have for the interested biostatistician audience."
