Statistics Applied with the R Commander: Data Analysis Is (Not) an Art 2024th Edition

This book shows you how to analyze data sets systematically and to use the R Commander to extract information from data almost effortlessly. Both are (not) an art!

The statistical methods are presented and discussed using a single data set. This makes it clear how the methods build on each other and gradually more and more information can be extracted from the data. R and the R Commander functions used are explained in detail – the procedure can be easily transferred to other data sets. The book thus provides a simple introduction to professional and free statistical software.

Various didactic elements facilitate orientation and working with the book: At the checkpoints, the most important aspects from each chapter are briefly summarized. In the freak knowledge section, more advanced aspects are addressed to whet the appetite for more. All examples are calculated manually and using the R Commander. Numerous applications and solutions, as well as further datasets, are available on the author's internet platform.

This book is a translation of the original German 2^nd edition Statistik angewandt mit dem R Commander by Franz Kronthaler, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH, Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and the related technologies to support the authors.
