======================================================================

Errata for the second and third printings.  Those marked (2) are
corrected in the third printing.

p. 59	l.-10  median |x - \mu|  (|  | not [   ]).

p. 86	l.3  and && only evaluates ...

p. 88   l.14  For(i = 1:250, res[i] <- myfun(sample(x, replace=T)) )
	(Replace ; by ,)

p.104	l.7  tempfile  creates a _name_ for a file, not the file itself.

p.122	Weibull has a scale parameter as well as shape in 3.2 and later.

p.125	The period evaluates to 4.6e18, not 6.6e14

p.126	l.11 the >skewness<.

p.160	lines -11,-10 should be
	  dist     climb 
	   4.9 0.0084718

p.164	l.17   list(N == "0", N == "1")  might be clearer.  (The
	levels of N are "0" and "1" in the file npk.dat in the
	scripts directory.)

p.180	[A warning, not an erratum.]  Figure 6.8 was produced
	in S-Plus 3.1.  Later releases produce a similar but not
	identical plot.

p.213	l.6 [For clarification.]  
	>of the median< to regression is:

p.227	l.20  derivatives with beta subscripted as 1,2 should be 0,1

p.234	vcov.glm is defined on page 188, so vcov.lm is not actually used.
	It should be

	vcov.lm <- function(obj)
	{
	        so <- summary(obj, corr=F)
	        so$sigma^2 * so$cov.unscaled
	}

	(This has been corrected in the software on the third printing.)

p.262	(10.8) The final sum is over i -> j and w_{ih} should be w_{ij}.

p.263 	l.24,25  x is the independent variables, y the dependent ones.

(2) p.268  eq (11.1)  Interchange \delta_i = 0 and \delta_i = 1.

p.271 third displayed equation. - is needed before H(t).

p.274	Table 11.1.  A clarification: The last column refers to the
	quoted model with linear wbc not log(wbc).

p.275	l.8  change - to +.

p.278	l.-6 10 percentile for >log< T of

(2) p.279 l.-8  A clearer version is:
	it is common to employ the Breslow approximation in which each 
	death is always considered to precede all other events at that time.

p.282	l.2  beta-hat = (-1.07, 0.37)^T.  The values quoted were computed
	with the Breslow approximation.

p.288	l.1  `interval-censored' means different things to different
	people: here it means both left- and right-censored.

p.289	l.16  Replace 1/1/71 by 1 Oct 1971.

p.289	We should have had age=c(50,50) - 48, but in fact survfit
	would in error here even with the correct age.

p.303	l.13  (n-1) not (n-p), replace 1^T X 1 by 1 1^T X twice.

p.317	l.11 The first term of (13.3) is the >squared< Mahalanobis ...

p.321   There is a misprint in the table of Fisher's data: 
	(medium, black) had a count of 26 not 25. The corrected
	results are

	First canonical correlation: 0.44637 

	 Row scores:
	     blue    light   medium   dark 
	 -0.89679 -0.98732 0.075306 1.5743

	 Column scores:
	    fair      red    medium   dark  black 
	 -1.2187 -0.52258 -0.094147 1.3189 2.4518

p.332 Caption: The numbers m/n denote the proportion of training
	cases reaching that node that are classified incorrectly by
	the label in the node

p.349	rts(scan(n=48))

p.353	first two displays.  Interchange max and min.

p.356	last line of last display (bias ...). Delete 2pi/n.

p.359	l.2  sqrt(m) + 0.11 + 0.12/sqrt(m).

p.361	(14.5) and (14.6).  Replace upper limit q by p in (14.5) and
	first sum of (14.6).

p.362	l.2  2^q, not 2^p

p.367	The coh component is the _squared_ coherency, so these plots
	need some adjustment (and people need to use more helpful names).

p.391	The 3D spherical covariance should have r/d rather than d/r, twice.

Software
--------

Function qda.q.  Add the 2* at

      ldet[i] <- 2*sum(log(abs(diag(qx))))

Only very rarely will this have a visible effect.
