Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent
Comment: A worthy update. The authors are matter-of-fact and straightforward. I appreciate their terse style, the broad coverage, and the many examples. It's also good that they're starting to split programming material off into its own monograph (S Programming), making this book all the more appropriate for learning, although not quite beginning, statisticians. Their considerable contribution in software is also very much appreciated.

I do not agree at all with the reviewer who chided them for including R; I say so much the better for it. I very much hope that they will continue to do so.

Rating: 4
Summary: An excellent application of statistics with S
Comment: I am an experienced S-Plus user. I found the 4th ed. of the popular book very helpful (and practical). The authors added many libraries to the packaged S-Plus, which is very generous. I would give it a five-star ranking, but I found the various comments on R really disturbing (I suspect most practioners use S-Plus instead of R). Maybe the authors should put everything related to R into separated boxes (or in a separate chapter). Overall, it's a great book and I would like to recommend it to anyone interested in computational statistics. Note: Basic knowledge of S and some advanced training statistics are assumed. Good for graduate students in statistics/finance, or experienced statisticians/financial engineers. For those without sufficient training in statistics, try the S-Plus Guide to Statistics I & II first.
