An R Companion for Applied Statistics II

Book excerpt: An R Companion for Applied Statistics II: Multivariable and Multivariate Techniques breaks the language of the R software down into manageable chunks in order to help students learn how to use R to analyze multivariate data. The book focuses on the statistics generally covered in an intermediate or multivariate statistics course and provides one or two ways to run each analysis in R. The book has been designed to be an R companion to Rebecca M. Warner′s Applied Statistics II: Third Edition, and includes end-of-chapter instructions for replicating the examples from that book in R. However, this text can also be used as a stand-alone R guide for a multivariate statistics course, without reference to the Warner text. Datasets and scripts to run the examples are provided on an accompanying website.
