Description

Computational statistics and statistical computing are two areas that employ computational, graphical, and numerical approaches to solve statistical problems, making the versatile R language an ideal computing environment for these fields. This second edition continues to encompass the traditional core material of computational statistics, with an emphasis on using the R language via an examples-based approach. It includes R code for all examples and R notes to help explain the R programming concepts. This edition also features a new chapter on nonparametric regression and smoothing.
