Hastie and Tibshirani mentioned in their course in Krems am Donau (Austria) that the last edition of their book "The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction" will be freely available. It is true! You can fetch a free copy from Hastie's webpage (8.2 MB).

Thanks for letting us know. I'd thought about getting a copy of that book.
Hi Gregor, thanks for that hint. Unfortunately, I missed that course. (I am very happy about your blog -- I can catch a lot of material by the way.)
Hi Dörte!
The course was nice, though very intense. I think I have quite some knowledge (at least at the level of understanding stuff from birds-eye view), but often had quite a hard time to follow the presentation of methods I have never heard about. However, I have to say that they really explain things in a nice and intuitive way - at least for the topics they alloted enough time. The course lasted two days, but I think it should last more. Anyway, we have the book now and we can study by ourselves ;)
