For Absolute R Beginners

2D Graphs and Simple Linear Regression with R

R is a very powerful and free computational statistics software/programming language that can have a steep learning curve. But for users that simply want to quickly plot simple graphs and perform simple linear regression, the necessary skills can be quickly learned.

The purpose of this brief text is to provide a simple and easy ‘how to’ guide for absolute R novices who need to rapidly plot data and perform simple linear regression without too much effort. Once you start using R and acquire a feel for it, hopefully you’ll want to learn more about the details of the language and its power and utility for data analysis. You'll also learn how to plot multiple data, error bars, confidence intervals and label graphs.

Chapters are relatively short and very specific. This is by design so that subject matter is relatively easy to locate and it’s in small step-by-step ‘chunks’.

With this ebook you'll quickly be able to produce report and publication quality graphs.

This affordable ebook is ideal for students needing a step-by-step introduction to using R for 2D graphs and simple linear regression. No prior R knowledge required.
