A Handbook of Statistical Analyses using R (3^rd Ed.)

Like the best-selling first two editions, A Handbook of Statistical Analyses using R, Third Edition provides an up-to-date guide to data analysis using the R system for statistical computing. The book explains how to conduct a range of statistical analyses, from simple inference to recursive partitioning to cluster analysis.

New to the Third Edition

• Three new chapters on quantile regression, missing values, and Bayesian inference
• Extra material in the logistic regression chapter that describes a regression model for ordered categorical response variables
• Additional exercises
• More detailed explanations of R code
• New section in each chapter summarizing the results of the analyses
• Updated version of the HSAUR package (HSAUR3), which includes some slides that can be used in introductory statistics courses

Whether you?re a data analyst, scientist, or student, this handbook shows you how to easily use R to effectively evaluate your data. With numerous real-world examples, it emphasizes the practical application and interpretation of results.
