[R] A Regression that will use R for the Computations

[John Maindonald]

In view of the recent discussion on R documentation and R 
literature for use in teaching, it may be useful to draw 
attention to a project (at this stage jointly between myself 
and John Braun) that is at the planning stage.  (John Braun, 
currently at the University of Winnipeg, is moving shortly to 
the University of Western Ontario.)

This will be a monograph on regression methods that will use
R for the computation.  It will be example-based and oriented 
towards research students and research workers, i.e. people 
such as come to the Statistical Consulting Unit (SCU) short 
courses that I and others run from time to time here at 
Australian National University.  (For a current list, see 
http://www.anu.edu.au/graduate/scu/courses2000.html)

Much of the content for the initial draft already
exists, in the form of:
(1) Various sets of notes that I have developed for SCU courses;
(2) The document "Data Analysis and Graphics Using R -
An Introduction", that I have posted on the web
(http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~johnm/r/r4dat-gr.html)

We would consider co-operation with anyone interested in
translation into another language, and/or who can bring to the
project skills or application area experience different from
that of John and myself.  This is not a commitment, simply an
indication of willingness to examine such possibilities.

I have posted further details of what is in mind at
