. . Watch Andy Field's introductory video to Discovering Statistics
Using R. Hot on the heels of the award-winning and best selling
Discovering Statistics Using SPSS 3rd Edition , Andy Field has teamed
up with Jeremy Miles (co-author of Discovering Statistics Using SAS )
and Zo Field to write Discovering Statistics Using R. Keeping the
uniquely humorous and self-deprecating style that has made students
across the world fall in love with Andy Field's books, Discovering
Statistics Using R takes students on a journey of statistical
discovery using R, a free, flexible and dynamically changing software
tool for data analysis that is becoming increasingly popular across
the social and behavioural sciences throughout the world. The journey
begins by explaining basic statistical and research concepts before a
guided tour of the R software environment. Next you discover the
importance of exploring and graphing data, before moving onto
statistical tests that are the foundations of the rest of the book
(for example correlation and regression). You will then stride
confidently into intermediate level analyses such as ANOVA, before
ending your journey with advanced techniques such as MANOVA and
multilevel models. Although there is enough theory to help you gain
the necessary conceptual understanding of what you're doing, the
emphasis is on applying what you learn to playful and real-world
examples that should make the experience more fun than you might
expect. Like its sister textbooks, Discovering Statistics Using R is
written in an irreverent style and follows the same ground-breaking
structure and pedagogical approach. The core material is augmented by
a cast of characters to help the reader on their way, together with
hundreds of examples, self-assessment tests to consolidate knowledge,
and additional website material for those wanting to learn more at:
Instructor Site. Given this book's accessibility, fun spirit, and use
of bizarre real-world research it should be essential for anyone
wanting to learn about statistics using the freely-available R
software.
