Miscelleny:

Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus, Second Edition, by Bill Venables and Brian Ripley, 1997.

A recommended text (I forgot to mention this earlier) for the course is

The Basics of S and SPLUS, by A. Krause and M. Olsen, 1997.

The book has a web page, containing useful information and links. All the software and data sets for the book (as well as some others; see Appendix A in the book, e.g.) can be obtained here.

More generally, StatLib is a general purpose server for the statistical community. There are several sites on Statlib where data sets and algorithms are available, including:

• If you are looking for S software, try the S-archive.
• The datasets archive contains many varied data sets, as well as collections of data sets from some books.
• The Data and Story Library is an "online library of datafiles and stories that illustrate the use of basic statistics methods."
• There are several other sites on StatLib which contain data sets. Check out the index on the StatLib home page.

See also the data sources page maintained at the University of Nevada.

Documentation and Resources

• Some generic information for students taking Statistics classes at CMU.

• Some Data being collected for Statistics courses at Cornell and CMU.

• Resources for Beginning Statistics Students (at all levels!).
