Reviews / Votes

'Statistics Using R is an engaging and accessible introduction to the practice of statistics using the powerful R environment. Readers will benefit from the book's clear, step-by-step demonstrations of statistical techniques and superb sample exercises, which use data and applications often encountered in the real world. Before they know it, users of this text will be confidently using R to analyze and interpret their own data.' Sean P. Corcoran, Vanderbilt University, USA 'Weinberg, Harel, and Abramowitz have created an accessible and example-filled introductory statistics textbook that simultaneously teaches users the basics of R. With interactive tutorials and plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning, students and researchers who are new to statistics and want a modern, comprehensive treatment of the material should start here!' Jennifer Hill, New York University, USA 'It is very clever of the authors to create their own package to use with this book, and it definitely streamlines the learning that way - with a primary focus on stats. I also really appreciate the way they describe terms, such as a vector, in R. It's really helpful for someone new to the terminology. I also really like the way this is laid out with data management and visualization first.' Alexis Kuerbis, Hunter College CUNY 'I loved this book, and I felt that the text had a really excellent method of introducing the topics, describing the R code, and discussing the R output. Equations were also used in a way where the material was easily understood ... I found the use of visuals, text, and equations more effective than other textbooks.' John Gallo, Gonzaga University
