At the end of the second paragraph. Just before Figure 3-15.

In the references to the two sub-figures, the author cited TOP and BOTTON, but the figures are located in the LEFT and RIGHT areas of the figure.

last paragraph

It says "It can also handle NAs and missing combina‐ tions, with the na.rm and .drop options."

and

The function has a parameter with default value".drop = TRUE".

But the function doesn't use the parameter ".drop", so I think readers can't understand how to "handle NAs and missing combinations"

I found this when translating this book to Japanese.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The errata report is correct.
The text says, "It can handle NAs and missing combinations, with the na.rm and .drop options."
It should be replaced with, "It can handle NAs with the na.rm option."

In the definition of the summarySE function (the code block shortly after that sentence), the '.drop = TRUE' part should be removed, as well as the preceding comma.
