[R] Lattice book
Dear all, I haven't seen this mentioned and presumably Dr. Deepayan Sarkar is too polite to advertise! I just received a flyer from Springer: A new book on Lattice released today!! http://www.springer.com/statistics/computational/book/978-0-387-75968-5?cm_mmc=NBA-_-Apr-08_UK_1753460-_-product-_-978-0-387-75968-5 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0387759689/ref=ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE Well done and many congratulations. My order is being processed as we speak!

Re: [R] Lattice book
Actually it's been out for a couple of weeks now at least. I just finished my first reading of it, and I must say it was spectacular. Congratulations Deepayan, the book gave me exactly the kind of lattice knowledge I needed, and then some. The graphics are really impressive and good illustrations of what lattice can do, and I found the writing very clear, with the complexity increasing at just the right speed. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to use lattice, at any level they desire. Ok, I guess I better stop now. Happy reading Mark!

Thanks for the great review :-) As Karl mentioned, there is a website with code and figures from the book at http://lmdvr.r-forge.r-project.org/ I also hope to eventually write some short vignettes on topics not covered in the book, and put them up here. Feel free to suggest topics to me. And of course, please report any typos and errors. -Deepayan __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] Lattice book
I too have been studying the book and it is indeed outstanding. For my purposes the only topic missing is the straightforward drawing of error bars and bands, for which I've been using Hmisc::xYplot (where error bands seem to be broken for R) or gplots::barplot2. _ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400 Parcels:Room 102Gilmer Hall McCormick RoadCharlottesville, VA 22903 Office:B011+1-434-982-4729 Lab:B019+1-434-982-4751 Fax:+1-434-982-4766 WWW:http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mk9y/ On May 1, 2008, at 7:26 PM, Deepayan Sarkar wrote: > On 4/30/08, Charilaos Skiadas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Actually it's been out for a couple of weeks now at least. > > Yes, it's been out since March 12, actually. > >> I just finished >> my first reading of it, and I must say it was spectacular. >> Congratulations >> Deepayan, the book gave me exactly the kind of lattice knowledge I >> needed, >> and then some.

If these are broken in xYplot we need to have a bug report with a small reproducible example.

Re: [R] Lattice book
Sorry. I received a very exciting email from Springer and placed my order and felt compelled to advertise it. Didn't see any previous postings about it. Hope no offence taken! Best wishes, and well done with book. Looking forward to receiving it...

That's a useful topic; I'll write something up (I do have some code around for error bars, but not bands). -Deepayan __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
