R is now the most widely used statistical package/language in university statistics departments and many research organizations. Its great advantages are that for many years, it has been the leading statistical package/language and that it can be freely downloaded from the R website. This text provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of statistical modelling in R with an emphasis on applications to practical problems and an expanded discussion of statistical theory. A wide range of case studies is provided, using the normal, binomial, Poisson, multinomial, gamma, exponential and Weibull distributions, making this book ideal for graduates and research students in applied statistics and a wide range of qualitative disciplines.
This text investigates the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of statistical modelling using the R programming language. The authors, a team of experienced statisticians, synthesize advanced statistical theory with computational practice to provide a robust framework for data analysis. By bridging the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and applied research, the book serves as a technical guide for navigating complex data structures and distribution models.
What You Will Find
Experts recognize this work as a rigorous resource for graduate students and researchers requiring a deep understanding of statistical theory within the R ecosystem. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which prioritizes technical accuracy and mathematical depth over introductory programming tutorials.
