Newcomers to R are often intimidated by the command-line interface, the vast number of functions and packages, or the processes of importing data and performing a simple statistical analysis. The R Primer provides a collection of concise examples and solutions to R problems frequently encountered by new users of this statistical software. This new edition adds coverage of R Studio and reproducible research.

Using R throughout, this popular textbook presents the right balance of data examples, statistical theory, and computing to teach introductory statistics to students in the life sciences. Expanded with over 100 more pages, this edition includes a new chapter on non-linear regression models and a new chapter that contains examples of complete data analyses. It also incorporates additional exercises in most chapters as well as a summary of statistical formulas related to the specific designs used to teach the statistical concepts.
