ABSTRACT
In this part we present most of the classical statistical methods in the form of worked examples. Each method is illustrated using a concrete example.
The structure of the worked examples is always the same. We start with a quick presentation of the method with theoretical reminders (section objective). Then follows a description of the dataset and the associated problem (section example). We present the steps to solve this problem (section steps). The example is processed step by step, and a brief commentary of the results is given (section processing the example). In this part, the different instructions are given using command lines. However, wherever possible, we use the R Commander interface available in the Rcmdr package (see Appendix A.3, p. 267) which allows one to perform the various methods using easy-to-use drop-down menus. In conclusion, a section called “Taking Things Further” gives reference books or less-standard extensions to the method.
