However, unlike a traditional textbook, each chapter will present its material using a complete step-by-step analysis of a real publicly available dataset, with an emphasis on the practical skills of testing assumptions, data exploration, and forming conclusions. The chapters in the main body of the book include a worked example showing the R code used at each step followed by a multi-part project for students to complete. These projects, which could serve as alternatives to traditional discrete homework problems, will illustrate how to \"put the pieces together\" and conduct a complete start-to-finish data analysis using the R statistical software package. At the end of the book, there are several projects that require the use of multiple statistical techniques that could be used as a take-home final exam or final project for a class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features of the text\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrganized in chapters focusing on the same topics found in typical introductory statistics textbooks (descriptive statistics, regression, two-way tables, hypothesis testing for means and proportions, etc.) so instructors can easily pair this supplementary material with course plans\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes student projects for each chapter which can be assigned as laboratory exercises or homework assignments to supplement traditional homework\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures real-world datasets from scientific publications in the fields of history, pop culture, business, medicine, and forensics for students to analyze\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAllows students to gain experience working through a variety of statistical analyses from start to finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is written at the undergraduate level to be used in an introductory statistical methods course or subject-specific research methods course such as biostatistics or research methods for psychology or business analytics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a 10-year career as a research biostatistician in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Chelsea Myers teaches statistics and biostatistics at Rollins College and Valencia College in Central Florida.
