Finally, a textbook that makes it simple to teach and learn introductory statistics using the R software! Herschel Knapp's Introductory Statistics Using R: An Easy Approach is a jargon-free guide to real-world statistics designed to concisely answer three important questions: Which statistic should I use? How do I run the analysis? How do I document the results? Practical examples presented throughout the text with exercises at the end of each chapter build proficiency through hands-on learning. The student website includes datasets, prepared R code for each statistic in the R Syntax Guide, and step-by-step step-by-step tutorial videos. In addition to teaching statistics, this text shows students how to convert numeric results into clear, publishable documentation.
