• The book refers to many datasets that can be found in the “faraway” package that needs to be added to R.

A source version of the package can be obtained from the R website.
• The data from the faraway package in ASCII format. These are provided for the convenience of users of statistical software other than R. Users of R should install the faraway package.
• The R commands used in text.
• The Errata.
• The lme4 package, used to fit models with random effects and used extensively in Chapters 8 and 9, has undergone substantial changes since the publication of the book. Please read about these changes along with some suggested solutions. (last updated April 2015).
