Description

An R Companion for Applied Statistics I: Basic Bivariate Techniques breaks the language of the R software down into manageable chunks in order to help students learn how to use it. R is a powerful, flexible, and free tool. However, the flexibility-which eventually becomes a great asset-can make the initial learning curve appear steep. This book introduces a few key aspects of the R tool. As readers become comfortable with these aspects, they develop a foundation from which to more thoroughly explore R and the packages available for it. This introduction does not explain every possible way to analyze data or perform a specific type of analysis. Rather, it focuses on the analyses that are traditionally included in an undergraduate statistics course and provides one or two ways to run these analyses in R. Datasets and scripts to run the examples are provided on an accompanying website. The book has been designed to be an R companion to Warner's Applied Statistics I, Third Edition, and includes end-of-chapter instructions for replicating the examples from that book in R. However, this text can also be used as a stand-alone R guide, without reference to the Warner text.



About the Author
Danney Rasco is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, Sociology, and Social Work at West Texas A&M University. As a self-professed stats nerd, he enjoys (yes, enjoys) teaching three or four sections of statistics each year and simply smiles and shrugs when students shake their heads at his enthusiasm and zeal for data and the beautiful sport of number crunching. In his "free" time, he plans statistics workshops because he is a glutton for punishment. This love for statistics and teaching (i.e., nerdiness) resulted in a Summer Teaching Assistant Fellowship from the University of New Hampshire, an Intellectual Contribution Award from the College of Education and Social Sciences at West Texas A&M University. Dr. Rasco has a master's degree in clinical and counseling psychology from Midwestern State University, a master's degree and PhD in social psychology from the University of New Hampshire, and a Cognate in College Teaching from the University of New Hampshire. One day he will buy frames, perhaps with the proceeds from this book, and display these degrees proudly on a wall.

Reviews

Rasco's An R Companion to Applied Statistics I is an excellent companion to Warner's seminal statistics text. If you've ever wanted to use R in place of commercial statistics, this is the book that will help you achieve that goal.


-- Jeffrey Savage

Rasco's text has taken the complexity out of using R for students who are learning the system. His engaging text gives step by step instructions with visuals. He thoroughly covers the relevance and assumptions of each statistical analysis.


-- Lina Racicot

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
