Statistical Inference via Data Science: A ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse: Chapman &Hall/CRC The R Series
Autor Chester Ismay, Albert Y. Kimen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2019
Features:
● Assumes minimal prerequisites, notably, no prior calculus nor coding experience
● Motivates theory using real-world data, including all domestic flights leaving New York City in 2013, the Gapminder project, and the data journalism website, FiveThirtyEight.com
● Centers on simulation-based approaches to statistical inference rather than mathematical formulas
● Uses the infer package for "tidy" and transparent statistical inference to construct confidence intervals and conduct hypothesis tests via the bootstrap and permutation methods
● Provides all code and output embedded directly in the text; also available in the online version at moderndive.com
This book is intended for individuals who would like to simultaneously start developing their data science toolbox and start learning about the inferential and modeling tools used in much of modern-day research. The book can be used in methods and data science courses and first courses in statistics, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Recenzii
"Through apt use of analogies, hands-on exercises, and abundant opportunities to get coding, this book delivers on its promise to give a reader without a background in statistics or programming the tools necessary for understanding and conducting real-world statistical inference and data analysis. With an emphasis on learning new concepts first "by hand," before turning to the code, it would make a particularly useful classroom companion. However, the "learning checks" provided throughout also make it a great guide for self-study. Students and teachers alike will benefit from this thoughtful introduction, as it addresses even the smallest of details that can trip beginners up, and keep them from getting to the more fruitful parts of data analysis."
- Mara Averick, Developer Advocate, RStudio, Inc.
"This is a comprehensive, modern resource for teaching and learning data science. ModernDive couples the introduction of core statistical concepts directly with learning how to apply data science methods to realistic data sets using the R programming language. The pedagogical approach of ModernDive is thoughtful and highly effective. The text engages learners early with tangible and practical concepts, such as creating data visualizations, that enable students to see early returns on their investment in learning R. The authors have created a guide to learning data science that increases students’ engagement and enthusiasm, while simultaneously providing students with the depth of understanding needed to conduct meaningful and reproducible data analyses. ModernDive is my go-to resource for teaching data science. I use it in all of my courses and workshops and I have found it to be the most effective and comprehensive introduction to data science in R available."

"With its emphasis on visualization, real world data, and simulation, along with clear instructions about how to work with R and the Tidyverse, ModernDive is the most accessible and student-friendly statistics textbook I have taught from. The book's early chapters on data wrangling and visualization provide students with hands-on experience with real data and get them excited about making beautiful and informative figures with modern statistical tools like R and the Tidyverse. Where the book especially shines is its simulation-based approach to modeling, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Instead of teaching a complicated flowchart with dozens of types of statistical tests, the book is instead centered around linear modeling and simulation. The chapters on hypothesis testing use simulation to teach about p-values, an approach that students find eminently intuitive. Overall, ModernDive is a phenomenal modern introduction to statistical inference—it is an essential book for any statistics instructor!"
-Dr. Andrew Heiss, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University
"My overall impression of the book is very positive. If you want to learn R programming and statistics at the same time, this is a good book for you. I like the intertwining of the two since I think modern data analysis requires computing.
Focusing on resampling techniques for the creation of confidence intervals and the conducting of hypothesis tests is a deviation from typical introductory books. I think that focus helps solidify a student’s understanding of sampling variability and its central role in statistical inference."

"The monograph belongs to the The R series, and it can serve as a convenient way for learning data science and statistics simultaneously with the R language. The textbook consists of four parts, eleven chapters, and each chapter contains sections and subsections. In Preface, the authors describe the book structure and illustrate it with a pipeline going from importing data to making its tidy version, which is applied in a loop of transforming-modeling-visualizing, and finally is used for communication, or interpretation and reporting of the modeling results...The monograph supplies multiple links to the websites of the R packages and related statistical methods, and the online version of the book with all the codes and outputs is available at moderndive.com. The textbook presents to students and researchers a very useful introduction to the data science and contemporary R programing, with numerous examples of R implementation for solving various problems of statistical estimation and inference."
- Stan Lipovetsky, Technometrics, Vol 62
"One of the great things about this textbook is that the authors provide great learning checks and helpful hints scattered throughout the chapters, with links in the text to references that can help the reader along if they get stuck. Although this textbook sticks to the simpler world of simple and multiple linear regression (foregoing the complexities of other regressions like logistic and Poisson), the take home messages really apply to all types of regression for inference, especially considering the intended audience for this book is for instructors teaching introductory statistical inference courses (particularly those interested in using R).
If you are an instructor, and are teaching an introductory course to statistical inference (and particularly want to teach it in R), I highly recommend this text for its adaptability, availability, and ease of use."

"The new ModernDive (Statistical Inference via Data Science) textbook is simply wonderful! It uses accessible language to introduce the topics of data science and statistics, as well as an intuitive simulation-based inference first approach. Importantly, it does not stop there. It also places great emphasis on how to do all of this in the R programming language! True to the book's name, the R code taught and demonstrated in the book uses a modern, tidy approach for data wrangling, visualization and statistics. I have used it successfully in an introductory statistics setting at both the undergraduate-level and the professional Master's level. Furthermore, I would choose to do this again."
- Tiffany Timbers, University of British Columbia
"With the help of visualization, the authors give examples of identifying outliers and identifying relationships between continuous numerical data. Based on this, we can conclude that the authors very well describe one of the steps of data analysis – pre-processing. This step is important because it is a main milestone in the identification of the relationship between variables in the data...The authors also provide a detailed review of the main methods of presenting the classical results based on linear models. This part is very important in the preparation of articles or books and greatly simplifies the work on the preparation.

“The forementioned book is a successful attempt to help convert classical statisticians into modern data scientists. This book aims and provides an excellent exposition of data-driven statistical tools to draw statistical inferences from data, all while using the R software and its ‘tidyverse’ package…This book is designed for those who want to understand and know how to retrieve the information hidden inside the provided data, using R software using the tools of classical statistics. The authors have tried to keep the readers away from in-depth mathematical details while presenting the material in this book. The authors assume that the readers have a good grasp of the statistical tools and methodologies…The topics are accompanied and explained with data-based examples.”

Descriere
This is a modern textbook in statistical inference, using the principles of data science through R and the Tidyverse. It assumes minimal background knowledge of the reader: there is no algebra, no calculus, and no prior programming/coding experience.
