An R Companion to Linear Statistical Models

Focusing on user-developed programming, An R Companion to Linear Statistical Models serves two audiences: those who are familiar with the theory and applications of linear statistical models and wish to learn or enhance their skills in R; and those who are enrolled in an R-based course on regression and analysis of variance. For those who have never used R, the book begins with a self-contained introduction to R that lays the foundation for later chapters.

This book includes extensive and carefully explained examples of how to write programs using the R programming language. These examples cover methods used for linear regression and designed experiments with up to two fixed-effects factors, including blocking variables and covariates. It also demonstrates applications of several pre-packaged functions for complex computational procedures.

《線性統計模型的 R 伴侶》專注於使用者開發的程式設計，適合兩種讀者：一是熟悉線性統計模型理論和應用，希望學習或提升 R 技能的人；二是參加基於 R 的迴歸和變異數分析課程的人。對於從未使用過 R 的讀者，本書提供了一個獨立的 R 簡介，為後續章節打下基礎。

本書包含了大量且詳細解釋的範例，示範如何使用 R 程式語言撰寫程式。這些範例涵蓋了線性迴歸和設計實驗的方法，包括最多兩個固定效應因子、包括區塊變數和共變數。它還演示了幾個預先打包的函數在複雜計算程序中的應用。

Christopher Hay-Jahans received his Doctor of Arts in mathematics from Idaho State University in 1999. After spending three years at University of South Dakota, he moved to Juneau, Alaska, in 2002 where he has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses at University of Alaska Southeast. Each year, since 2004, he has also been teaching a course on regression and analysis of variance. Students enrolling in this course have included UAS undergraduates, masters and doctoral students from the Juneau Campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, as well as area professionals in the applied sciences. This work was developed as a supplement for his regression and analysis of variance course and is geared to cover topics from a wide range of textbooks, as well as address the interests, needs, and abilities of a fairly diverse group of students.

Christopher Hay-Jahans於1999年從愛達荷州立大學獲得數學藝術博士學位。在斯達科塔大學度過三年後，他於2002年搬到阿拉斯加州朱諾，在阿拉斯加東南大學教授各種本科課程。自2004年以來，他每年都教授一門關於回歸和變異分析的課程。參加這門課程的學生包括UAS的本科生，朱諾校區阿拉斯加費爾班克斯大學漁業和海洋科學學院的碩士和博士生，以及應用科學領域的專業人士。這項工作是作為他回歸和變異分析課程的補充，旨在涵蓋來自各種教科書的主題，並滿足一個相當多樣化的學生群體的興趣、需求和能力。
