R Manual to Accompany Essential Statistics for the Pharmaceutical Sciences (2007)

Version 0.1 – December 29, 2009

Introduction

This manual accompanies Essential Statistics in the Pharmaceutical Sciences, by Dr. Philip Rowe (Liverpool John Moores University, UK).

ISBN: 978-0-470-03468-2

For all references to chapters or tables, see the above book.

Dr. Rowe has posted nice examples how to use SPSS and Minitab to solve problems from his book (www.staff.ljmu.ac.uk/phaprowe/pharmstats.htm). My ambition is to use the R programming language for the same purpose. This is an early version of the manuscript (0.1), and I'll need a few more months to polish code, graphics, explanations, and my rusty English.

Do no hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Acknowledgments

I am especially grateful to Prof. Filip Čulo who encouraged me to compile some sort of computer exercises for introductory statistics course.
