About this book

R is the most widely used open-source statistical and programming environment for the analysis and visualization of biological data. Drawing on Gregg Hartvigsen's extensive experience teaching biostatistics and modeling biological systems, this text is an engaging, practical, and lab-oriented introduction to R for students in the life sciences.

Underscoring the importance of R and RStudio in organizing, computing, and visualizing biological statistics and data, Hartvigsen guides readers through the processes of correctly entering and analyzing data and using R to visualize data using histograms, boxplots, barplots, scatterplots, and other common graph types. He covers testing data for normality, defining and identifying outliers, and working with non-normally distributed data. Students are introduced to common one- and two-sample tests as well as one- and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, and linear and nonlinear regression analyses. This volume also includes a section on advanced procedures and a chapter outlining algorithms and the art of programming using R.

This second edition has been revised to be current with the versions of R software released since the book's original publication. It features updated terminology, sources, and examples throughout.

Media reviews

"An excellent, easy-to-read introduction to biostatistics and the software program R. Simple but rigorous, with top-notch coverage of R. I would recommend this new edition to both colleagues and students."
– Andrew Conway, Claremont Graduate University

"A Primer in Biological Data Analysis and Visualization Using R does a thorough job of introducing students to R and showing them how to perform basic statistical tests for normality, homogeneity, and other elements of data sets. Additionally, the book's focus on the application of statistical tests is most helpful for students in later coursework."
– Cecilia Brothers, Walla Walla University
