From the reviews: TECHNOMETRICS ´…a well-organized, nicely conceived book that will be useful to practitioners with S-PLUS in any environment.´ SHORT BOOK REVIEWS ´This book presents a survey of modern methods used in, but not confined to, medical statistics, each accompanied by a brief summary of the mathematical components, instruction in the basics of the S-PLUS computer language, up-to-date references, examples using sets of data from medical research, and S-PLUS code for the examples.

All data sets are taken from genuine medical investigations and will be available on a web site. The examples in the book contain extensive graphical analysis to highlight one of the prime features of S-PLUS.
