Really? I think your bootstraping thread suggests you won't find it that hard going at all CB

I think I'm the least competent one participating so my vote is for something I have some knowledge of to start like GLMs (Though logistic regression I've studied not survival) or ANCOVA. I'm excited about this. I think we could really add some great techniques and approaches beyond Crawley, but the book is a good base.
Hi Guys,
Great that there are so many people enthusiastic about this. So let me select the start chapter and we can begin. There have been votes for anova, ancova, glm, ME-models and GAMS. So I think a very natural introduction would be to start with chapter 10, regressions. That subject seems like the perfect soft introduction for the other chapters (Crawley put it before the others for a reason). I have looked at the chapter and believe it is very comprehensive and that there will be something to learn for everyone.
I hope everyone agrees with the Chapter choice. Even if you feel you already know everything about the chapter we would still appreciate your input. You can help others with any problems or maybe you can help us by stating why you would do things differently? I will now start the first thread of the Talkstats book club!

Great! I guess we'll get started then and start posting!
Btw, I think it'd be a good idea to come up with a tentative schedule for the chapters. Sorry to keep bringing this up. I'm much better when there's a schedule to follow though (i.e a due date). Maybe a chapter a week? Or a chapter every two weeks?

I need to remember to get back to that thread and revise the code a bit!
Has anyone finished reading the ANOVA chapter yet? I really just started. I have been pretty busy this past week or so. I'm thinking that we should set ourselves up to read the next chapter while we discuss the chapter we already read. Otherwise, we give ourselves a timeframe for reading & discussion, and people will end up not coinciding on the latter part. If we separate the two, then people can finish up the reading early or late (during the prior discussion period) to meet their needs while not keeping them from participating in the discussion fully.
Thoughts?
