An R Companion to Political Analysis

By Philip H. Pollock III, Barry C. Edwards, Barry Clayton Edwards

Book Overview

Data Analysis with R

Teach your students to conduct political research with R, the open source programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. An R Companion to Political Analysis offers the same easy-to-use and effective style as the best-selling SPSS and Stata Companions.

With this new, comprehensive workbook, students analyze research-quality data to learn descriptive statistics, data transformations, bivariate analysis (cross-tabulations and mean comparisons), controlled comparisons, statistical inference, linear correlation and regression, dummy variables and interaction effects, and logistic regression. The clear explanation and instruction is aided by the use of many annotated and labeled screen shots, as well as many end-of-chapter exercises, allowing students to apply their new skills.
