ebooks in Free software, Stats Friday, November 12, 2010 at 9:11AM Two free ebooks today.
The first is Breaking the Law of Averages, an introductory statistics book that I recomment. Matt Briggs approaches the subject in a wholly modern way, relying on your computer to do the math, allowing the student to focus on the more important task of understanding what you are doing. Briggs applies objective Bayesian probability theory in this book, allowing for an easy introduction to the subject. This book also has a simple R primer in it.
The second is Modern Perl, a primer on Perl 5.

Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 7:11AM From the makers of Statistica, comes a free statistics textbook on the web.
It is comprehensive without being excessively detailed, a handy reference when you just need to look something up to refresh your memory.
