Opis

This work presents content/techniques by progressively building upon earlier introduced ideas on using R as new ideas are introduced. The emphasis is on computational steps and coding strategies associated with methods presented.

Recenzje

"This book is written by a Professor of Mathematics with much experience in teaching statistics applied to the natural sciences. As mentioned in the Preface, the book addresses students (and teachers) of elementary statistics courses. Only basic preliminary statistical knowledge is necessary to start using the book, it is perfect for anyone jumping in to R, and it could readily serve as a reference manual rather than to be read from beginning to end... Several simple applied examples with detailed explanations are presented (coded in R) in order to make the methods more deeply understandable, and in some cases to compare different types of application (e.g. when different assumptions are filled, different research questions are of interest, or different types of data are recorded). All the richly-commented script files used in the book are available on the publisher’s website... At the end of the book, a highly informative Index aids quick searches. Nevertheless, the book can be ordered as an e-book as well... This second book of Professor Hay-Jahans, particularly together with the first one, is appropriate for undergraduate students as an
introductory book on statistics using R, but it could successfully be used also by PhD students, researchers, and teachers requiring a consistent and through reference."
