The A-Z of Error-Free Research by Philip Good
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
“A-Z” suggests a breadth of completeness probably not possible in roughly 240 pages. The subtitle on the back is both more detailed and more accurate for this ABCs (and R) of applied statistics in research: “A Practical Guide with Step-by-Step Explanations, Numerous Worked Examples, and R Code”. R is a free programming language and environment for statistical computing. The R language is widely used among statisticians. R's popularity has increased substantially in recent years. This book follows a similar trend: R content increases exponentially as the page numbers rise. Final material includes an R primer and function index. Being conversant in R, and probably planning to use R in research, is a prerequisite to maximizing usage of this book. Understanding and embracing R is implicit and basically taken for granted throughout, although there are pointers.
