`Modern Applied Statistics with S'
==================================
by W.N. Venables & B.D. Ripley
==============================

Errata and comments for the second printing of the fourth edition.

p. 78 R does not have prompt.screen.

p. 83 In R, you need par(new=TRUE) before the second par(fig=) call.

p.100 The background to this figure (Figure 3 of the reference) can be
      found in 

    Bradley, K.M., Bydder, G.M., Budge, M.M., Hajnal, J.V., White, S.J.,
    Ripley, B.D. and Smith, A.D. (2002) Serial brain MRI at 3-6 month
    intervals as a surrogate marker for Alzheimer's disease.
    British Journal of Radiology 75, 506-513.

p.162 The version of rlm prior to May 2004 used case weights, not
    inverse variance weights.  The current version gives the more
    correct results of

Coefficients:
              Value Std. Error t value
(Intercept)  -4.062   1.651     -2.461
       dist   5.822   0.452     12.889
      climb   0.008   0.001      5.937

Residual standard error: 0.819 on 32 degrees of freedom

p.231 (8.7) y_i should be y_j.

p.297 Table 10.4.  In the first column, the se for V$ should be 0.05,
	not 0.15 -- see page 294 for the actual output.

p.308 l.5 The reference to figure 11.4 should be to the top right
	panel of figure 11.3.

pp.381-2  S-PLUS 6.1 gives different numbers for `n' in the survfit
	printouts, the number of records not the number of
	individuals.  (This looks like a bug.)


S-PLUS Changes
==============

p.416  The GARCH facilities are now available in module S+FinMetrics,
	so replace module(garch) by module(finmetrics) if you have the
	latter (from S-PLUS 6.2).


R Changes
=========

p.69  There are now two R packages called `rgl', although efforts are
      under way to merge them.  That described in the footnote is now 
      called `djmrgl'.

pp.128,132,134  The new (Dec 2002) R package polspline should be used in
      place of logspline, by replacing dlogspline by doldlogspline,
      and logspline.fit by oldlogspline.  Feb 2004: the old logspline
      package has been withdrawn.

p.299 yags for R is now yags3, and the syntax has been changed at version
      3.21.  See the scripts in the R MASS package for the changes needed.

pp.307, 308 (twice) replace codes() by unclass(), as codes() has been
     withdrawn in R.  See the scripts in the R MASS package.
