Statistical Analysis and Data Display: An Intermediate Course with Examples in S-Plus, R, and SAS

by Richard M. Heiberger

This presentation of statistical methods features extensive use of graphical displays for exploring data and for displaying the analysis. The authors demonstrate how to analyze data—showing code, graphics, and accompanying computer listings. They emphasize how to construct and interpret graphs, discuss principles of graphical design, and show how tabular results are used to confirm the visual impressions derived from the graphs. Many of the graphical formats are novel and appear here for the first time in print.

This is a rather expensive R book that unfortunately didn't meet my needs. The statistics assume a greater background than I have and the graph examples don't illustrate what R is capable of. I keep it around and refer to it occasionally, but Crawley's book is much more suited to the work I do.
