Ronald D. Fricker · Calhoun: The Naval Postgraduate School Institutional Archive (Naval Postgraduate School) · 2010
Statistics and Data with R: An Applied Approach Through Examples is a well-written and nicely organized book that, as the title clearly states, uses applied examples done in R to illustrate and motivate statistical methods and ideas. The book is divided into three main parts. Part I: Data in Statistics and R is a brief (90 pages) introduction to R; Part II: Probability, Densities and Distributions covers the usual probability topics contained in introductory probability and statistics texts; and, Part III: Statistics proceeds from ex- ploratory data analysis through hypothesis testing and includes introductions to linear and logistic regression. The book integrates R and R code throughout the exposition so that readers see statistical methods directly connected to examples solved with R.
