It takes a hands-on, example-based approach incorporating bestpractices with clear explanations of the statistics being done. It has beencompletely re-written since the first edition to make use of the latestpackages and features in R version 3.R is a powerful open-source language and programmingenvironment for statistics and has become the de facto standard for doing,teaching, and learning computational statistics. R is both an object-oriented language and afunctional language that is easy to learn, easy to use, and completely free. Alarge community of dedicated R users and programmers provides an excellentsource of R code, functions, and data sets, with a constantly evolvingecosystem of packages providing new functionality for data analysis. R has alsobecome popular in commercial use at companies such as Microsoft, Google, andOracle. Your investment in learning R is sure to pay off in the long term as Rcontinues to grow into the go to language for data analysis and research.What You Will Learn:How to acquire and install RHot to import and export data and scriptsHow to analyze data and generate graphicsHow to program in R to write custom functionsHot to use R for interactive statistical explorationsHow to conduct bootstrapping and other advancedtechniques
