Purpose and Target Audience
Purpose and Target Audience This book is written for statisticians, data analysts, programmers, researchers, professionals, and general consumers on how to perform different types of statistical data analysis for research purposes using the R object-oriented programming language and RStudio integrated development environment (IDE).
Introduction to R
R is an open-source software with a development environment (RStudio) for computing statistics and graphical displays through data manipulation, modeling, and calculation. R packages and supported libraries provide a wide range of functions for programming and analyzing data.
Comparison with Other Software
Unlike many of the existing statistical software, R has the added benefit of allowing users to write more efficient code by using command-line scripting and vectors.
Extensibility and Custom Functions
It has several built-in functions and libraries that are extensible and allow users to define their own (customized) functions … which can also be stored in the simple object system.
Role of the Book
Therefore, this book serves as both a textbook and a manual for R statistics, targeting users to inform and guide their work.
