R, a powerful open-source software package, was created in response to this issue. It has enjoyed explosive growth since its introduction, owing to its coherence, flexibility, and free availability. While it is a valuable tool for students who are first learning statistics, proper introductory materials are needed for its adoption. Using R for Introductory Statistics fills this gap in the literature, making the software accessible to the introductory student. The author presents a self-contained treatment of statistical topics and the intricacies of the R software. The pacing is such that students are able to master data manipulation and exploration before diving into more advanced statistical concepts. The book treats exploratory data analysis with more attention than is typical, includes a chapter on simulation, and provides a unified approach to linear models. This text lays the foundation for further study and development in statistics using R. Appendices cover installation, graphical user interfaces, and teaching with R, as well as information on writing functions and producing graphics. This is an ideal text for integrating the study of statistics with a powerful computational tool. Review: best overall introduction to statistics using R - This book is an excellent introduction to basic statistics, not assuming a knowledge of calculus, using an intuitive "hands-on approach" using the free computer program R. Statistics should be learned with the fingers on a computer, not merely by memorizing formulas, so you do well to learn statistics with a book in one hand, sitting in front of a computer. John Verzani gives a gentle introduction to statistics using R. For those unaware, R is a complete, very powerful statistics program that was developed in the 1990s based on an early language called S/Splus, created by John Chambers in the 1970s. S/Splus is an extremely powerful language for doing statistics / numerical research, and was developed explicitly for that purpose. It is far stronger than Matlab for statistical data analysis. R has a vibrant online community with hundreds of free add-on packages (available from the CRAN website). R has grown to be much more powerful than SPSS or SAS in recent years, and is becoming the tool of choice by the experts in the field. It's suitable for beginners too, but doesn't have the point and click style of simpler programs. There are three main books that are introductions to R. One by Verzani (reviewed here), one by Dalgaard, and one by Crawley. Of the three, I find this one to be the best. It is the most clearly organized and has the best logical presentation of the three. It goes into the right amount of depth without getting bogged down. You can work through all the exercises in the book because the datasets are freely downloadable from the web. Be sure to do as many of the exercises in the book as you can -- that will really help you to learn statistics well! Review: Good introduction to basic statistical concepts and data manipulation - The book essentially covers two topics: data manipulation and statistics at an introductory level. The first four chapters cover basic R commands for viewing, creating and displaying continuous or categorical data, while the remaining chapters gradually introduce classical statistics concepts and how to use R to apply them to data analysis. For beginners of R and Statistics, this is a valuable self-learning book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,945 in Probability & Statistics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 31 Reviews | ## Images ![Using R for Introductory Statistics 1st (first) edition Text Only - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31uiu2qXGML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best overall introduction to statistics using R *by K***S on May 8, 2007* This book is an excellent introduction to basic statistics, not assuming a knowledge of calculus, using an intuitive "hands-on approach" using the free computer program R.
