Drawing on Gregg Hartvigsen's extensive experience teaching biostatistics and modeling biological systems, this text is an engaging, practical, and lab-oriented introduction to R for students in the life sciences.</p><p>Underscoring the importance of R and RStudio in organizing, computing, and visualizing biological statistics and data, Hartvigsen guides readers through the processes of entering data into R, working with data in R, and using R to visualize data using histograms, boxplots, barplots, scatterplots, and other common graph types. He covers testing data for normality, defining and identifying outliers, and working with non-normal data. Students are introduced to common one- and two-sample tests as well as one- and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, and linear and nonlinear regression analyses. This volume also includes a section on advanced procedures and a chapter introducing algorithms and the art of programming using R.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A recommendation for any college-level course strong in biostatistics and modeling...a fine guide for science and R programming students alike.--Midwest Book Review<br><br>A well-written overview of both biostatistics and R programming.... this volume will fill an important niche for undergraduate biology.--Quarterly Review of Biology<br><br>Hartvigsen has succeeded in accomplishing his stated objectives.
