Learning Serverless: Design,Develop,and Deploy with Confidence

Statistical methods are a key tool for all scientists working with data,but learning the basics continues to challenge successive generations of students. This accessible textbook provides an up-to-date introduction to the classical techniques and modern extensions of linear model analysis-one of the most useful approaches for investigating scientific data in the life and environmental sciences. While some of the foundational analyses (e.g. t tests,regression,ANOVA) are as useful now as ever,best practice moves on and there are many new general developments that offer great potential. The book emphasizes an estimation-based approach that takes account of recent criticisms of over-use of probability values and introduces the alternative approach that uses information criteria. This new edition includes the latest advances in R and related software and has been thoroughly “road-tested” over the last decade to create a proven textbook that teaches linear and generalized linear model analysis to students of ecology,evolution,and environmental studies (including worked analyses of data sets relevant to all three disciplines). While R is used throughout,the focus remains firmly on statistical analysis. The New Statistics with R is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students,professional researchers,and practitioners in the fields of ecology,evolution and environmental studies.
