Illuminating Statistical Analysis Using Scenarios and Simulations

This looks like an interesting textbook for an introductory statistics course. I did not see a code repository associated with the book though.

The intelligence paradox

The Intelligence Paradox: Why the Intelligent Choice Isn't Always the Smart One is an interesting book. One one hand, it proposes a number of very important research questions; on the other hand, the statistical analysis tends to be overly simplistic (e.g., relying on regression analysis of observational data) and the substantive conclusions are sometimes not as solid as they could have been.

A practical Bayesian book

Introduction to WinBUGS for Ecologists is a good practical Bayesian book. I find the sample code very useful. The simple example of forming predictions (p. 116) is straightforward and can be easily tailored to be used in different research situations.

Doing Bayesian Data Analysis: A Tutorial with R and BUGS is another useful practical Bayesian book. My copy just arrived today. Can't wait to play with some of the examples there.
