For readers who are already familiar with both basic statistics and the R free statistical software package, Ekstrøm (statistics, U. of Copenhagen) demonstrates how to deal with some problems that newcomers often encounter. He presents a number of examples that illustrate a specific situation, topic, or problem, from data import to data management, and from classical statistical analyses to graphics. Each is self-contained and provides R code that can be run exactly as shown in most cases. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
