Description
Book Synopsis: Many books teach computational statistics. Until now, however, none has shown how to write a good program. This book gives statisticians, biostatisticians and methodologically-oriented researchers the tools they need to develop high-quality statistical software.
Topics include how to:
- Program in Fortran 95 using a pseudo object-oriented style
- Write accurate and efficient computational procedures
- Create console applications
- Build dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and Windows-based software components
- Develop graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
Through detailed examples, readers are shown how to call Fortran procedures from packages including Excel, SAS, SPSS, S-PLUS, R, and MATLAB. They are even given a tutorial on creating GUIs for Fortran computational code using Visual Basic.NET. This book is for those who want to learn how to create statistical applications quickly and effectively. Prior experience with a programming language such as Basic, Fortran or C is helpful but not required. More experienced programmers will learn new strategies to harness the power of modern Fortran and the object-oriented paradigm. This may serve as a supplementary text for a graduate course on statistical computing.
From the reviews:
"This book should be read by all statisticians, engineers, and scientists who want to implement an algorithm as a computer program. The book is the best introduction to programming that I have ever read. I value it as one of my important reference books in my personal library." Melvin J. Hinich for Techonmetrics, November 2006
"Overall, the book is well written and provides a reasonable introduction to the use of modern versions of Fortran for statistical computation. The real thrust of the book is building COM interfaces using Fortran, and it will no doubt be most useful to anyone who needs to build such interfaces." Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2006
"The book is well written and is divided into chapters and sections which are coherent...Overall the book seems like a good resource for someone that already knows some dialect of FORTRAN and wants to learn a bit about what is new in FORTRAN 95..." Robert Gentleman for the Journal of Statistical Software, December 2006

Looking for a comprehensive guide on developing statistical software? Look no further! Our "Developing Statistical Software in Fortran 95" is the ultimate resource for statisticians, biostatisticians, and researchers seeking to enhance their programming skills. Unlike other books that focus solely on computational statistics, this book goes the extra mile by teaching you how to write efficient and accurate programs.
Learn how to program in Fortran 95 using a pseudo object-oriented style and discover the power of this language. With detailed examples, you'll discover how to call Fortran procedures from popular packages such as Excel, SAS, SPSS, S-PLUS, R, and MATLAB. You'll even get a tutorial on creating GUIs for Fortran computational code using Visual Basic.NET.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer, this book has something for everyone. If you're new to programming, we recommend having some basic knowledge of languages like Basic, Fortran, or C. More experienced programmers will also benefit from the strategies and techniques presented in this book, helping them harness the full power of modern Fortran and the object-oriented paradigm.
Don't just take our word for it! Reviewers rave about this book. A review from Techonmetrics even states, "This book should be read by all statisticians, engineers, and scientists who want to implement an algorithm as a computer program," while the Journal of the American Statistical Association commends its focus on building COM interfaces using Fortran.
