All,
I have updated my practical introduction to using R to analyse
epidemiological data for the March 2001 Computer Software in
Epidemiology course at the Nordic School of Public Health to include a
short section on object orientation. You can get this from:
http://www.myatt.demon.co.uk
As a ZIP file containing MS Word '95 (DOC) and Adobe Acrobat v4.xx (PDF)
version of the document as well as the sample data files used in the
exercises.
I place this material in the public domain. Feel free to make use of it
as you will.
Mark Myatt

Hey, this looks nice. I especially like the banquet data for logistic regression. I suggest that we put it on CRAN, although probably separate the .pdf and .doc files so they can be viewed directly. Could you add a couple of words about the level of the intended audience. A bunch of minor corrections (non-exhaustive, just what caught my eye. PDF page numbers) p2: (Exc.3) general*ized* linear models p7: ctest is automatically loaded nowadays p33: Bill Venables misspelled in "S programming" entry

Yes, that looks *VERY NICE*, and I think we should definitely put this on CRAN. [I also like the banquet data ... the conclusion is that the lattice was bad?] I have three remarks. * Technically one should refer to R add-ons as *packages* (and not as *libraries*). * I'd prefer only putting up the .pdf file. * Re scripts and data, one option is to the same as for Jim's ``Data Analysis and Graphics Using R'' who makes these available via his home page, and CRAN has a link to this. Alternatively, we could set up a place in CRAN which holds ``packages'' which are really data and scripts and perhaps some extra code to be used along with docs. -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Thanks. I will fix it up and post a message to the list when I have a new version available.
