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. 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.
