The second edition of a bestselling textbook, Using R for Introductory Statistics guides students through the basics of R, helping them overcome the sometimes steep learning curve. The author does this by breaking the material down into small, task-oriented steps. The second edition maintains the features that made the first edition so popular, while updating data, examples, and changes to R in line with the current version.

This book provides a general introduction to the R Commander graphical user interface (GUI) to R for readers who are unfamiliar with R. It is suitable for use as a supplementary text in a basic or intermediate-level statistics course. It is not intended to replace a basic or other statistics text but rather to complement it, although it does promote sound statistical practice in the examples. The book should also be useful to individual casual or occasional users of R for whom the standard command-line interface is an obstacle.tinyurl.com/RcmdrBookThe site includes data files used in the book and an errata list.http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/RCommander/Writing-Rcmdr-Plugins.pdfWriting R Commander Plug-in Packages

Up-to-Date Guidance from One of the Foremost Members of the R Core Team Written by John M. Chambers, the leading developer of the original S software, Extending R covers key concepts and techniques in R to support analysis and research projects. It presents the core ideas of R, provides programming guidance for projects of all scales, and introduces new, valuable techniques that extend R. The book first describes the fundamental characteristics and background of R, giving readers a foundation for the remainder of the text. It next discusses topics relevant to programming with R, including the apparatus that supports extensions. The book then extends R's data structures through object-oriented programming, which is the key technique for coping with complexity. The book also incorporates a new structure for interfaces applicable to a variety of languages. A reflection of what R is today, this guide explains how to design and organize extensions to R by correctly using objects, functions, and interfaces. It enables current and future users to add their own contributions and packages to R. A 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title

Newcomers to R are often intimidated by the command-line interface, the vast number of functions and packages, or the processes of importing data and performing a simple statistical analysis. The R Primer provides a collection of concise examples and solutions to R problems frequently encountered by new users of this statistical software. This new edition adds coverage of R Studio and reproducible research.

Computational statistics and statistical computing are two areas that employ computational, graphical, and numerical approaches to solve statistical problems, making the versatile R language an ideal computing environment for these fields. This second edition continues to encompass the traditional core material of computational statistics, with an emphasis on using the R language via an examples-based approach. It includes R code for all examples and R notes to help explain the R programming concepts. This edition also features a new chapter on nonparametric regression and smoothing.

This book explains how to use stated preference survey methods to measure people¿s preferences based on decision making in hypothetical choice situations. Along with giving introductory explanations of the methods, the book collates information on existing R functions and packages as well as those prepared by the authors. It focuses on core SP methods, including contingent valuation, discrete choice experiments, and best¿worst scaling. All the example data sets and code are available online.

This third edition of Paul Murrell's classic book on using R for graphics represents a major update, with a complete overhaul in focus and scope. It focuses primarily on the two core graphics packages in R - graphics and grid - and has a new section on integrating graphics. This section includes three new chapters: importing external images in to R; integrating the graphics and grid systems; and advanced SVG graphics. The emphasis in this third edition is on having the ability to produce detailed and customised graphics in a wide variety of formats, on being able to share and reuse those graphics, and on being able to integrate graphics from multiple systems. This book is aimed at all levels of R users. For people who are new to R, this book provides an overview of the graphics facilities, which is useful for understanding what to expect from R's graphics functions and how to modify or add to the output they produce. For intermediate-level R users, this book provides all of the information necessary to perform sophisticated customizations of plots produced in R. For advanced R users, this book contains vital information for producing coherent, reusable, and extensible graphics functions.

"This book describes interactive data visualization using the R package plotly. It focuses on tools and techniques that data analysts should find useful for asking follow-up questions from their data using interactive web graphics. A basic understanding of R is assumed"--

With new chapters on ODEs and Markov chains, the second edition of this highly recommended, best-selling book introduces scientific programming and stochastic modelling in a clear, practical, and thorough way. Readers learn programming by experimenting with the provided R code and data. Requiring no prior knowledge of programming or probability, the book shows them how to turn algorithms into code. It includes case studies that demonstrate the simulation techniques as well as numerous student projects and exercises.

This book is designed to introduce the concept of advanced business analytic approaches and would the first to cover the gamut of how to use the R programming language to apply descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytic methodologies for problem solving.

This is the first book on how to create websites based on R Markdown. It makes it much easier to publish data analysis results and R computing/graphics output through websites. The book can be particularly useful to bloggers, and also generally useful to anyone who wants to create a professional personal website.

This book provides an introduction to the field of microeconometrics through the use of R. The focus is on applying current learning from the field to real world problems. It uses R to both teach the concepts of the field and show the reader how the techniques can be used.

This book explains the details involved in solving real computational problems encountered in data analysis. It reveals the dynamic and iterative process by which data analysts approach a problem and reason about different ways of implementing solutions. The book¿s collection of projects, exercises, and sample solutions encompass practical topics pertaining to data processing and analysis. The book can be used for self-study or as supplementary reading in a statistical computing course, allowing students to gain valuable data science skills.
