Julian J. Faraway is a professor of statistics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath. His research focuses on the analysis of functional and shape data with particular application to the modeling of human motion. He earned a PhD in statistics from the University of California, Berkeley.
"What I liked most with this book was the comprehensive treatment
of the practical application of GLMs, covering most outcomes an
applied statistician will encounter, and at the same time
presenting just enough of the necessary theoretical basis for the
discussed methods. Combined with the thorough discussion of the R
output, the text will serve as a useful guide for the reader when
applying the methods to his or her own data set."
—Psychometrika, 2018"The second edition of book ‘Extending the
linear model with R’ by Julian Faraway is an easily readable and
relatively thorough (without being theory heavy) sequel of the
earlier ‘Linear Models with R’ by the same author. The book itself
is written in a self-paced tutorial style in easily digestible
chunks integrating descriptions of underlying methodology, with
data analysis and R code. The organization of the book is well
thought through. The flow of the book is problem driven rather than
driven by the underlying statistical theory . . . the second
edition is more polished in terms of the figures used, R code and
output display and a crisper typesetting of equations."
—John T. Ormerod, University of SydneyPraise for the First
Edition:"… well-written and the discussions are easy to follow …
very useful as a reference book for applied statisticians and would
also serve well as a textbook for students graduating in
statistics."
—Computational Statistics, April 2009, Vol. 24"The text is well
organized and carefully written … provides an overview of many
modern statistical methodologies and their applications to real
data using software. This makes it a useful text for practitioners
and graduate students alike."
—Journal of the American Statistical Association, December 2007,
Vol. 102, No. 480"I enjoyed this text as much as [Faraway’s Linear
Models with R]. The book is recommended as a textbook for a
computational statistical and data mining course including GLMs and
non-parametric regression, and will also be of great value to the
applied statistician whose statistical programming environment of
choice is R."
—Journal of Applied Statistics, July 2007, Vol. 34, No. 5"This is a
very pleasant book to read. It clearly demonstrates the different
methods available and in which situations each one applies. It
covers almost all of the standard topics beyond linear models that
a graduate student in statistics should know. It also includes
discussion of topics such as model diagnostics, rarely addressed in
books of this type. The presentation incorporates an abundance of
well-chosen examples … this book is highly recommended …"
—Biometrics, December 2006"It has been a great pleasure to review
this book, which delivers both a readily accessible and
reader-friendly account of a wide range of statistical models in
the context of R software. Since the publication of the very well
received first edition of the book, R has considerably expanded
both in popularity and in the number of packages available. The
second editionof the book takes advantage of the greater
functionality available now in R, and substantially revises and
adds several new topics."
—Andrzej Galecki, The International Biometric Society
