Media reviews

Reviews of the second edition:

"I find the book by Everitt and Hothorn quite pleasant and bound to fit its purpose. The layout and presentation [are] nice. It should appeal to all readers as it contains a wealth of information about the use of R for statistical analysis. Included seasoned R users: When reading the first chapters, I found myself scribbling small lightbulbs in the margin to point out features of R I was not aware of. In addition, the book is quite handy for a crash introduction to statistics for (well-enough motivated) nonstatisticians."
International Statistical Review (2011), 79

" [...] an extensive selection of real data analyzed with [R] [...] Viewed as a collection of worked examples, this book has much to recommend it. Each chapter addresses a specific technique. [...] the examples provide a wide variety of partial analyses and the datasets cover a diversity of fields of study. [...] This handbook is unusually free of the sort of errors spell checkers do not find."

Reviews of the first edition:

"Brian Everitt has joined forces with a recognized expert who displays an impressive command of this powerful environment [...] Much is to be learned in the small details that make this text interesting even for experienced users. [...] Special attention is given to graphical methods [...]"
Journal of Applied Statistics, May 2007

"Useful examples are presented to assist understanding. [...] Everitt and Hothorn have written an excellent tutorial on using R to analyze data using a wide range of standard statistical methods. [...] I highly recommend the text for anyone learning R and who want to use it for the sophisticated analysis of data."
– Joseph M. Hilbe, Journal of Statistical Software, Vol. 16, August 2006

"a useful, compact introduction."
Biometrics, December 2006

"[...] This book, using analyses of real sets of data, takes the reader through many of the standard forms of statistical methodology using R. [...] a very valuable reference. !The book is particularly good at highlighting the graphical capabilities of the language. [...]
