Description
Research Methods Using R: Advanced Data Analysis in the Behavioural and Biological Sciences provides comprehensive coverage of advanced research methods for undergraduates. This new title supports students in mastering more advanced research techniques and applying them using R.
The book begins with fundamental tools, including nonlinear curve fitting, function optimization, stochastic methods, and Fourier analysis, before progressing to specialist content on bivariate and multivariate statistics, Bayesian statistics, and machine learning methods. It also discusses methods for improving research practices, such as power analysis, meta-analysis, and reproducible data analysis.
Written in a step-by-step approach, the book builds students' confidence with using R, starting with essential tools and gradually introducing more detailed techniques through worked examples. Online resources, including practice questions and datasets, are available to support student learning.
