An Introduction to Generalized Linear Models

good references for learning about the program, but given their second goal, expanding this appendix would make future editions of the book more effective. An obvious comparison for this book is the text by Venables and Ripley (2002), which is an invaluable resource to the S, R, and S-PLUS user community. Although Martinez and Martinez have not achieved the standard set by that book, they have made a very good start, and have positioned themselves to become the Venables and Ripley of the MATLAB user community. Any MATLAB user who is serious about statistics (as they all should be, in my opinion) will want a copy of this book and the software that it describes.
