Description
Book SynopsisThis text is an engaging, practical, and lab-oriented introduction to R for students in the life sciences. This second edition has been revised to be current with the versions of R software released since the book’s original publication. It features updated terminology, sources, and examples throughout.
Trade ReviewAn excellent, easy-to-read introduction to biostatistics and the software program R. Simple but rigorous, with top-notch coverage of R. I would recommend this new edition to both colleagues and students. -- Andrew Conway, Claremont Graduate University
A Primer in Biological Data Analysis and Visualization Using R does a thorough job of introducing students to R and showing them how to perform basic statistical tests for normality, homogeneity, and other elements of data sets. Additionally, the book's focus on the application of statistical tests is most helpful for students in later coursework. -- Cecilia Brothers, Walla Walla University
