Getting Started with R: An Introduction for Biologists

Author: Andrew P. Beckerman, Owen L. Petchey

    "Evolutionary Ecologists with over 20 years of combined experience using R for data analysis and visualization"

Published: July 22, 2012 by Oxford University Press

This book provides a fundamental introduction for biologists new to R.  While teaching how to import, explore, graph and analyze data, it keeps readers focussed on their ultimate goals-communicating their data in oral presentations, posters, papers, and reports.  It also provides a consistent workflow for using R that is simple, efficient, reliable, accurate, and reproducible.  The material in the book reproduces the engaging and sometimes humorous nature of the three-day course on which it is based.

Published: March 15, 2015 by Oxford University Press

Summary: This book provides a contemporary introduction to the classical techniques and modern ectensions of linear model analysis.  It emphasizes on estimation-based approach that accounts for recent criticisms of over-use of probability values and introduces the alternative approach using information criteria.  It is based on the use of the open-source R programming language for statistics and graphics that is rapidly becoming the lingua franca in many areas of science.  Statistics is introduced through worked analyses preformed in R using interesting data sets from ecology, evoluntionary biology, and environmental science.  Data sets and R scripts are available as supporting material.
