Description
This book provides a foundation for undergraduate and graduate students in social sciences on how to use R to manage, visualize, and analyze data. It focuses on addressing substantive questions with data analysis and replicating published findings.
The approach is minimalist, covering only the most important functions and skills in R needed for reproducible research. The book emphasizes practical needs by showing how to import, inspect, and manage data, understand statistical inference logic, visualize data and findings, and analyze data using key statistical tests.
It also demonstrates how to replicate published journal article findings and diagnose model assumption violations, making it suitable for introductory courses on R, data analysis, and empirical social-scientific research.
