## Uses[edit]

### Statistics[edit]

An interactive package for instructions (12 pages) on using R for statistics is available[3] with a commercial book for further detail (376 pages).[1]

#### Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square Test[edit]

[4][5]

#### Simple statistical inference[edit]

Basic tests, such as T-test, chi-square and others are described in the Chapter, "Chapter Simple Inference", of http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/HSAUR2/.

#### Regression[edit]

##### Non-linear[edit]

* Nonlinear regression with R
* Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models
* Non-linear regression with brute force
* Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models
* Higher Order Inference for Nonlinear Heteroscedastic Models
* Tools for nonlinear regression diagnostics

#### Diagnosis[edit]

Relevant packages include http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROCR/ and http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/DiagnosisMed/.

#### Meta-analysis[edit]

* Meta-analysis of treatments
* rmeta
* HSAUR2 interactive package with a chapter containing sample demonstrations, "Meta-Analysis: Nicotine Gum and Smoking Cessation and the Effcacy of BCG Vaccine in the Treatment of Tuberculosis" in "A Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using R".[3]
* metafor package with manual.[6] Additional information is at http://www.metafor-project.org.
* Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy
* hierarchical summary ROC

#### Recursive partitioning[edit]

* rpart package
* HSAUR2 interactive package with a chapter containing sample demonstrations, "Recursive Partitioning: Predicting Body Fat and Glaucoma Diagnosis" in "A Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using R".[3]
