Congratulations Deepayan, the book gave me exactly the kind of lattice knowledge I needed, and then some. The graphics are really impressive and good illustrations of what lattice can do, and I found the writing very clear, with the complexity increasing at just the right speed. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to use lattice, at any level they desire. Ok, I guess I better stop now. Happy reading Mark! Haris Skiadas Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Hanover College I'm half way through the reading of the book and share your view: extremely well done and self-explaining-. The many examples are all very clear. Congratulations Deepayan.

Re: [R] Lattice book
I too have been studying the book and it is indeed outstanding. For my purposes the only topic missing is the straightforward drawing of error bars and bands, for which I've been using Hmisc::xYplot (where error bands seem to be broken for R) or gplots::barplot2. _ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400 Parcels:Room 102Gilmer Hall McCormick RoadCharlottesville, VA 22903 Office:B011+1-434-982-4729 Lab:B019+1-434-982-4751 Fax:+1-434-982-4766 WWW:http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mk9y/ On May 1, 2008, at 7:26 PM, Deepayan Sarkar wrote: On 4/30/08, Charilaos Skiadas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually it's been out for a couple of weeks now at least.

If these are broken in xYplot we need to have a bug report with a small reproducible example.

Dear all, I haven't seen this mentioned and presumably Dr. Deepayan Sarkar is too polite to advertise!
