Description
Book SynopsisThis book uses the statistical language R, which is the choice of ecologists worldwide and is rapidly becoming the 'go-to' stats program throughout the life-sciences. Furthermore, by using a single, real-world dataset throughout the book, readers are encouraged to become deeply familiar with an imperfect but realistic set of data.
Trade ReviewApplied Statistics with R will keep you engaged with its humor and humility while teaching the fundamentals of modern biological data analysis. * Morgan W. Tingley, The Quarterly Review of Biology *
This book excels at...taking away the fear of coding that seems to be an epidemic among students. It is written in a very conversational tone and the author explains every line of code, avoiding any technical language. * Julia Balogh, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, Germany, ISBE Newsletter Vol 36 *
