FYI (I know R isn't so popular with most users of this list, but still...).  Apparently, Hastie and Tibshirani are also presenting an online course on OpenEdX covering the material (started 21 Jan) - see http://online.stanford.edu/course/statistical-learning-winter-2014 .

To: r...@sympa.sun.ac.za


A new book, An introduction to statistical learning - with applications in R
(2013), by James, Witten, Hastie and Tibshirani, has recently seen the light
of day. It “is aimed for upper level under­grad­u­ate stu­dents, mas­ters stu­dents
and Ph.D. stu­dents in the non-mathematical sci­ences”, and therefore presents
the statistical methods in a non-technical way with R code and instructions on
use.

An electronic copy of the book is freely available for download at
http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/ISLR%20First%20Printing.pdf
