Statistics With R: Solving Problems Using Real-World Data

Description

Recipient of a 2021 Most Promising New Textbook Award from the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) " Statistics with R is easily the most accessible and almost fun introduction to statistics and R that I have read. Even the most hesitant student is likely to embrace the material with this text." ―David A.M. Peterson, Department of Political Science, Iowa State University Drawing on examples from across the social and behavioral sciences, Statistics with R: Solving Problems Using Real-World Data introduces foundational statistics concepts with beginner-friendly R programming in an exploration of the world’s tricky problems faced by the "R Team" characters. Inspired by the programming group "R Ladies," the R Team works together to master the skills of statistical analysis and data visualization to untangle real-world, messy data using R. The storylines draw students into investigating contemporary issues such as marijuana legalization, voter registration, and the opioid epidemic, and lead them step-by-step through full-color illustrations of R statistics and interactive exercises.
