Statistics With R

Recipient of a 2021 Most Promising New Textbook Award from the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) 'Statistics with R is easily the most accessible and almost fun introduction to statistics and R that I have read. Even the most hesitant student is likely to embrace the material with this text.' -David A.M. Peterson, Department of Political Science, Iowa State University Drawing on examples from across the social and behavioral sciences, Statistics with R: Solving Problems Using Real-World Data introduces foundational statistics concepts with beginner-friendly R programming in an exploration of the world's tricky problems faced by the 'R Team' characters. Inspired by the programming group 'R Ladies,' the 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 into investigating contemporary issues such as marijuana legalization, voter registration, and the opioid epidemic, and lead them step-by-step through full-color illustrations of R statistics and interactive exercises.
