`Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS' ======================================= by W.N. Venables & B.D. Ripley ============================== Errata and comments for the second printing of the third edition. p. 22 l.4 logical columns are not converted to character in S-PLUS 5.x and 6.x, although the statement is correct for S-PLUS 3.x, 4.x and R. p. 41 l.-6 a[3,5,9] should be a[2,5,10] p. 134 (5.4) 1/b should be 1/(nb) p. 170 last line, displayed equation. For u <= 1 read |u| <= 1, similarly read |u| > 1 for u >= 1. p. 188 l.-6 names(cpus)[2:7] Our code omitted to transform chmax: fortunately this makes very little difference. p. 203 l.2 of text. Replace `z ratio' by `t-value'. p. 231 display zeta_k - eta immediately below: remove `< zeta_{K+1}' p. 252 confint.profile.nls needed to be altered for a fit wth just one parameter. p. 325 The sum of squares 0.17692 is not a cross-validated estimate of prediction accuracy like the others for this dataset. p. 351 l.8 tp <- factor(Cushings$Type[1:21]) is used to drop unused levels of the factor. On current systems tp <- Cushings$Type[1:21, drop=T] would be a better alternative, but both should work. p. 451 An HTML-based help.start() is available under S-PLUS 5.1 (but not 5.0). A Java-based help.start() is available under S-PLUS 6.0. Typos ----- p. 29 l.8 "likke" should be "like" p. 191 l.1 of text dif>fthe< before each p. 276 l.-3 wher>e
