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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee What’s New in the Second Edition:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncreased emphasis on more idiomatic R provides a grounding in the functionality of base R.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscussions of the use of RStudio helps new R users avoid as many pitfalls as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse of knitr package makes code easier to read and therefore easier to reason about.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdditional information on computer-intensive approaches motivates the traditional approach.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated examples and data make the information current and topical.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book has an accompanying package, UsingR, available from CRAN, R’s repository of user-contributed packages.

The authors emphasize realistic data and examples and rely on visualization techniques to gather insight. They introduce statistics and R seamlessly, giving students the tools they need to use R and the information they need to navigate the sometimes complex world of statistical computing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45567010177262,"sku":"9781466590731","price":111.35,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781466590731.jpg?v=1720701975","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/using-r-for-introductory-statistics-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
