Recenzii

An accessible book for any student to learn data analysis, even without a strong math background. It is a student-friendly book that is easy to read, with knowledge checks as the student reads along, and there are great code examples and visualizations that will greatly engage the student.
This text successfully presents an introduction to data analysis using R in a highly approachable manner. The use of easy-to-follow examples and conceptual linkage across chapters makes this an outstanding option for undergraduate and graduate stats courses in the social sciences.
A great text with in-depth coverage of statistics concepts with helpful R code segments. Great installation directions and rationale for use of R programming versus others.
This text takes students on a journey through introductory and intermediate statistical methods along with R programming to accomplish the descriptive and inferential statistics. Images of RStudio and samples of R code are woven throughout the text to help students follow along.
