May 3, 2012 at 18:04 | comment | added | Sean | I agree. I have many statistics books that are R based, and MASS4 is probably the closest to what you are looking for, but in places "terse" becomes un-readably terse and requires most statistical background knowledge than I have. That said, I have the book nearly 10 years and I keep going back to it and learning new stuff. I wouldn't let its' age put you off. Oh, and I'm now doing a stats phd :-) | |
