"This book fits right into a needed niche: rigorous enough to
give full explanation of the power of the S language, yet
accessible enough to assign to social science graduate students
without fear of intimidation. It is a tremendous balance of
applied statistical "firepower" and thoughtful explanation. It
meets all of the important mechanical needs: each example is
given in detail, code and data are freely available, and the
nuances of models are given rather than just the bare essentials.
It also meets some important theoretical needs: linear models,
categorical data analysis, an introduction to applying GLMs, a
discussion of model diagnostics, and useful instructions on
writing customized functions.
