A First Course in Statistical Programming With R Paperback
Braun, W. John/ Murdoch, Duncan J. · Cambridge · 2008-01-28
Learn programming in the language you want: R! Until now a gap has separated generalised introductory computer programming and the application of these programming skills specifically to statistics and data analysis. This textbook bridges that gap with a self-contained first course in statistical computing. The book uses the open-source R statistical package to introduce students to basic programming notions common to most computing languages. The basics of R syntax and statistical graphics are explained, and elementary programming is discussed, including how to develop complex projects reliably. Programming applications in simulation and optimization as well as numerical linear algebra are introduced. Real code in R is shown and all examples are drawn from statistical applications. Unlike other introductory books on the ground-breaking R system, this book emphasizes programming. Particularly useful for those studying statistics, biostatistics and econometrics, it is accessible to any student familiar with the basics of probability.
