Easy R: Access, Prepare, Visualize, Explore Data, and Write Papers

Autor Elizabeth A. Gohmert, Quan L. Li, Douglas R. Wise
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2020
After a first chapter on installing the software and project setup, in the second chapter the authors shows how to write an essay using R Markdown, rewarding readers with an immediate tangible result, and taking the fear out of working with a new software. Student-friendly language and examples (e.g. binge-watched shows on Netflix, top 5 songs on Spotify), cumulative learning and repetition across chapters, and practice exercises make this a must-have guide for a variety of courses where data is used and reports need to be written (including, but not limited to intro statistics and research methods). Code and datasets used to carry out the examples in the book are available on an accompanying website.
