This book shows the use of R in specific cases such as one-way ANOVA analysis, linear and logistic regression, data visualization, parallel processing, bootstrapping, and more. It takes a hands-on, example-based approach incorporating best practices with clear explanations of the statistics being done. It has been completely re-written since the first edition to make use of the latest packages and features in R version 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eR is a powerful open-source language and programming environment for statistics and has become the de facto standard for doing, teaching, and learning computational statistics. R is both an object-oriented language and a functional language that is easy to learn, easy to use, and completely free. A large community of dedicated R users and programmers provides an excellent source of R code, functions, and data sets, with a constantly evolving ecosystem of packages providing new functionality for data analysis. R has also become popular in commercial use at companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Oracle. Your investment in learning R is sure to pay off in the long term as R continues to grow into the go to language for data analysis and research.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to acquire and install R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot to import and export data and scripts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to analyze data and generate graphics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to program in R to write custom functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot to use R for interactive statistical explorations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to conduct bootstrapping and other advanced techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003cem\u003eBeginning R, Second Edition\u003c\/em\u003e is an easy-to-read book that serves as an instruction manual and reference for working professionals, professors, and students who want to learn and use R for basic statistics.
