A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The book by Paradis ... is filled with examples and case studies illustrating how to use features of the existing packages. It is the sort of book where you sit in front of your computer and read a bit, tinker a bit, read a bit more, and gradually increase your confidence with the R environment. ... I think people will find Analysis of Phylogenetics and Evolution with R to be a very useful reference book. ... So ... buy the book, and get involved!" --Barbara R. Holland, Systematic Biology, Vol. 56 (4), 2007

"Paradis succeeds in teaching how one can harness a substantial portion of these analyses through R and ape package. The key to Paradis's success lies in his book's numberous examples and their relevance to real problems phylogenetecists face....This book is ideal for graduate-level course for evolutionary biologists who want to learn how to construct their own statisticsal analyses, as well as statisticians looking for practical experience....I plan to adopt [this book] for a hands-on course on solving real phlogenetics problems." --Marc A Suchard, Biometrics, December 2007

"Analysis of phylogenetics and Evolution With R is, in effect, a user s manual for several R packages ... . The book explains various statistical analysis of interest to evolutionary biologists in R using these packages. ... I can also envision this as an excellent textbook. ... can help organize the ideas, and make it easier for students to implement them on data. ... This will make the foreign elements of the class (biology for statisticians, statistics for biologists) more concrete and easier to learn." --M. Last, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 102 (480), 2007
