Greenhouse gas emissions have caused considerable changes in climate, including increased surface air temperatures and rising sea levels. This e-textbook presents a series of laboratory exercises in R that teach the Earth science and statistical concepts needed for assessing climate-related risks. These exercises are intended for upper-level undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and professionals in other areas who wish to gain insight into academic climate risk analysis.

Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

This book introduces the topic of Developing Data Products in R. A data product is the ideal output of a Data Science experiment. This book is based on the Coursera Class "Developing Data Products" as part of the Data Science Specialization. Particular emphasis is paid to developing Shiny apps and interactive graphics.

A rigorous treatment of linear models for self learning data scientists. This book is only available in pdf form.

This book teaches the fundamental concepts and tools behind reporting modern data analyses in a reproducible manner. As data analyses become increasingly complex, the need for clear and reproducible report writing is greater than ever. The material for this book was developed as part of the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization. Printed versions are available through Lulu (see link below).

This book teaches you to use R to effectively visualize and explore complex datasets. Exploratory data analysis is a key part of the data science process because it allows you to sharpen your question and refine your modeling strategies. This book is based on the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization.

This book gives an introduction to several aspects of econometric production analysis. It provides many practical examples using the R statistical software.

This book gives a brief, but rigorous, treatment of regression models intended for practicing Data Scientists.

This book brings the fundamentals of R programming to you, using the same material developed as part of the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization. The skills taught in this book will lay the foundation for you to begin your journey learning data science. Printed copies of this book are available through Lulu.

The data's out there, but what can we do with it? As the ultimate chaser of technological innovation, Formula One motor sport is still outpaced by baseball and cricket in the stats fans stakes. But no more: it's time for the F1 data junkies to fight back...

Do you want to start using R for crunching machine learning models right from the start with examples? Then this book is for you.
