Quantitative research methods and statistical analysis using R
Quantitative research methods and statistical analysis using R
Description
Book Introduction
SPSS is convenient to use because analysis can be performed simply by clicking on the menu, but because it is a commercial program, there were cases where accessibility issues occurred.
There is also the inconvenience of not being able to immediately update the latest analysis techniques.

This book was written in response to requests to add examples using Python and R, which are free programs that can implement the latest analysis techniques, to statistical analysis books.
R is being made more user-friendly with a Windows-based program called RStudio.

This book covers the basics of quantitative research and statistical analysis, from t-tests, regression analysis, ANOVA, ANCOVA, repeated-measures ANOVA, categorical data analysis, and nonparametric tests, and provides detailed examples of analysis using R (RStudio).
