This textbook offers an easy-to-follow, practical guide to modern data analysis using the programming language R. The chapters cover topics such as the fundamentals of programming in R, data collection and preprocessing, including web scraping, data visualization, and statistical methods, including multivariate analysis, and feature exercises at the end of each section. The text requires only basic statistics skills, as it strikes a balance between statistical and mathematical understanding and implementation in R, with a special emphasis on reproducible examples and real-world applications. This textbook is primarily intended for undergraduate students of mathematics, statistics, physics, economics, finance and business who are pursuing a career in data analytics. It will be equally valuable for master students of data science and industry professionals who want to conduct data analyses.

R programming is an efficient tool for statistical analysis of data. Data science has become critical to each field and the popularity of R is skyrocketing. Organization as large and diverse as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Bank of America, Ford Motor Company, Mozilla, Thomas Cook, The New York Times, The National Weather Service, Twitter, ANZ Bank, Uber, Airbnb etc . have turned to R for reporting, analyzing and visualization of data, this book is for students and professionals of Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Social Science and Medicine, Business, Engineering, Software, Information Technology, Sales, Bio Informatics, Pharmacy and any one, where data needs to be analyzed and represented graphically.

Learn, by example, the fundamentals of data analysis as well as several intermediate to advanced methods and techniques ranging from classification and regression to Bayesian methods and MCMC, which can be put to immediate use.

Join the revolution ignited by the ground-breaking R system! Starting with an introduction to R, covering standard regression methods, then presenting more advanced topics, this book guides users through the practical and powerful tools that the R system provides. The emphasis is on hands-on analysis, graphical display and interpretation of data. The many worked examples, taken from real-world research, are accompanied by commentary on what is done and why. A website provides computer code and data sets, allowing readers to reproduce all analyses. Updates and solutions to selected exercises are also available. Assuming only basic statistical knowledge, the book is ideal for research scientists, final-year undergraduate or graduate level students of applied statistics, and practising statisticians. It is both for learning and for reference. This revised edition reflects changes in R since 2003 and has new material on survival analysis, random coefficient models, and the handling of high-dimensional data.
