About the Book

Suitable for a compact course or self-study, Computational Statistics: An Introduction to R illustrates how to use the freely available R software package for data analysis, statistical programming, and graphics. Integrating R code and examples throughout, the text only requires basic knowledge of statistics and computing. This introduction covers one-sample analysis and distribution diagnostics, regression, two-sample problems and comparison of distributions, and multivariate analysis. It uses a range of examples to demonstrate how R can be employed to tackle statistical problems. In addition, the handy appendix includes a collection of R language elements and functions, serving as a quick reference and starting point to access the rich information that comes bundled with R. Accessible to a broad audience, this book explores key topics in data analysis, regression, statistical distributions, and multivariate statistics. Full of examples and with a color insert, it helps readers become familiar with R.

Table of Contents:
Introduction. Basic Data Analysis. Regression. Comparisons. Dimensions 1, 2, 3, , infinity. R as a Programming Language and Environment. References. Functions and Variables by Topic. Function and Variable Index. Subject Index.

Review :
… instructors will find lots of interesting material to use in a variety of courses. In addition, most non-expert users of R will enjoy reading the book and learn a few things they did not know before. —T. Mildenberger, Statistical Papers, July 2011 For those who want to learn R and have a good statistics background, this book is a good choice. … the book is quite valuable and I am very glad that I have acquired a copy. —David Booth, Technometrics, August 2010 … a fresh perspective on teaching statistics. … The book introduces its topics and the corresponding methodologies well. … the book is well put together and quite enjoyable for its purpose of serving a small course on computational statistics. … —Journal of Statistical Software, December 2009 … a well-written and nicely organized book suitable for quantitatively and computationally sophisticated readers. … it is the integration of interesting examples and associated R code that make the text a pleasure to read and work through. The examples are neither overly trivial … nor excessively complicated, and the R code is similarly accessible without being either too simple or complex. … Computational Statistics: An Introduction to R will be most useful to computer savvy readers with at least some skill in statistical programming who would like a succinct introduction to R. It could also be useful as a supplementary text for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses with labs that use R. … —Ronald D. Fricker, Jr., The American Statistician
