About the Book

R is a free software package that has seen a huge increase in users within the last five years and now is used increasingly in introductory classes. There are few books covering introductory statistics using R, and this book fills a gap as a true "beginner" book. With emphasis on data analysis and practical examples Using R for Introductory Statistics encourages understanding rather than focusing on learning the underlying language. It includes a large collection of problem sets with solutions and numerous practical examples from a broad range of scientific disciplines. It comes complete with an online resource containing datasets, R functions, and updates to the latest features.

Review :
The author has made a very serious effort to introduce entry-level students of statistics to the open-source software package R. One mistake most authors of similar texts make is to assume some basic level of familiarity, either with the subject to be taught, or the tool (the software package) to be used in teaching the subject. This book does not fall into either trap. ! the examples and exercises are well-chosen ! --MAA Reviews, October 2010!The book presents each new concept in a gentle manner. Numerous examples serve to illustrate both the R commands and the general statistical concepts. ! Every chapter contains sample code for plotting ! The book also has a rich supply of homework problems that are straightforward and data-focused ! Overall, I found the book enjoyable to read. Even as an experienced user of R, I learned a few things. ! Without hesitation I would use it for an introductory statistics course or an introduction to R for a general audience. Indeed, Verzani's book may prove a useful travel guide through the sometimes exasperating territory of statistical computing. --E. Andres Houseman (Harvard School of Public Health), Statistics in Medicine, Vol. 26, 2007 This book sets out to kill two birds with one stone-introducing R and statistics at the same time. The author accomplishes his twin goals by presenting an easy-to-follow narrative mixed with R codes, formulae, and graphs ! [He] clearly has a great command of R, and uses its strength and versatility to achieve statistical goals that cannot be easily reached otherwise ! this book contains a cornucopia of information for beginners in statistics who want to learn a computer language that is positioned to take the statistics world by storm. --Significance, September 2005 Anyone who has struggled to produce his or her own notes to help students use R will appreciate this thorough, careful and complete guide aimed at beginning students. --Journal of Statistical Software, November 2005 This is an ideal text for integrating the study of statistics with a powerful computation tool. --Zentralblatt MATH
