R by Example, 2nd Ed (Springer)
Monday, 06 January 2025

Exhorting "Use R!" on the cover, this book is an example-based introduction to the statistical computing environment that does not assume any previous familiarity with R or other software packages. Maria Rizzo and Jim Albert present R functions in the context of interesting applications with real data. The book is aimed at users who have at least the equivalent of  undergraduate level calculus-based courses in statistics. The new edition includes expanded coverage of ggplot2 graphics, as well as new chapters on importing data and multivariate data methods.
