NOTE: Over 31,000 downloads from 131 countries and over 1,600 institutions have been made from my BePress Selected Works site. Moreover, the white paper titled "Basic R Matrix Operations" has had some 4,400 downloads from 96 countries. It is the most downloaded. I am very pleased that this paper, and the others, has been helpful to so many of my statistical colleagues and readers. It's near the bottom of the selections below, so I am giving you the direct URL for it (see below). Log Negative Binomial Regression as a GLM (which I wrote in 1993 to mathematically demonstrate that the negative binomial is a member of the GLM family), Negative Binomial Regression Extensions and Beta Binomial Regression papers have each been downloaded well over 2500 and 2400 times respectively. Bayesian code for the forthcoming book, Bayesian Models for Astrophysical Data: using R, JAGS, Python and Stan (Cambridge University Press) will be placed on this site at the same time the book is published. It is due to be published in late April, 2017.

that the book will be out in summer 2017.>

Stat/Transfer: Fantastic software for converting data between statistical packages. I highly recommend. www.stattransfer.com

LOGIT package on CRAN - for code, data and errata "Practical Guide to Logistic Regression"
COUNT package on CRAN - for code, data and errata "Negative Binomial Regression" and "Modeling Count Data"
msme package on CRAN -- for code,data and errata "Methods of Statistical Model Estimation"

ERRATA -- always make sure to check the Errata and Comments/Additions document for all stat books, including mine. Both of my recent books, Modeling Count Data (2014) and Practical Guide to Logistic Regression (2015) now have new e-books with (most) errata corrected. Unfortunately the printed versions still have the errata. For the next printings of each book, errata-fixed versions will be available. Book-sellers may still sell older copies until they run out of stock. Also, readers of "Practical Guide..." will likely appreciate the "Addition to PGLR Chapter 6". It provides a number of Bayesian logistic and beta binomial models using Stata.
