Preface

This book is written for behavioral scientists who want to consider adding R to their existing set of statistical tools, or want to switch to R as their main computation tool. We aim primarily to help practioners of behavioral research make the transition to R. The focus is to provide practical advice on some of the widely used statistical methods in behavioral research, using a set of notes and annotated examples. We also aim to help beginners learn more about statistics and behavioral research. These are statistical techniques used by psychologists who do research on human subjects, but of course they are also relevant
