Preface

This book is an effort to make R-based introductions to statistics as painless as possible. It is based on the lab/quiz section tutorials and assignments for Stat 311 at University of Washington (UW).

Quickstart

install.packages(c("tidyverse", "scatterD3", "DescTools", "GGally", "BSDA", "asbio"))
