Description:
"Drawing on examples from across the social and behavioral sciences, Statistics with R: Solving Problems Using Real World Data introduces upper-level undergraduates and first-year graduate students to statistics, research, and the R software through an exploration of the world's "tricky problems" faced by the book's characters. Inspired by the programming group "R Ladies," the book's "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 in to solving interesting real problems, leading them step-by-step through full-color illustrations of R statistics and interactive exercises. This is the first student-friendly text to integrate foundational concepts with beginner-friendly R programming to guide students towards real-world application of statistical problems"--
