From the Back Cover
Gain better insight into your data using the power of R
While R is very flexible and powerful, it is unlike most of the computer programs you have used. In order to unlock its full potential, this book delves into the language, making it accessible so you can tackle even the most complex of data analysis tasks. Simple data examples are integrated throughout so you can explore the capabilities and versatility of R. Along the way, you′ll also learn how to carry out a range of commonly used statistical methods, including Analysis of Variance and Linear Regression. By the end, you′ll be able to effectively and efficiently analyze your data and present the results.
Beginning R:
