Probability Statistics and Data A Fresh Approach Using R | Statistics

Product Description

This book is a fresh approach to a calculus based first course in probability and statistics using R throughout to give a central role to data and simulation. The book introduces probability with Monte Carlo simulation as an essential tool. Simulation makes challenging probability questions quickly accessible and easily understandable. Mathematical approaches are included using calculus when appropriate but are always connected to experimental computations. Using R and simulation gives a nuanced understanding of statistical inference. The impact of departure from assumptions in statistical tests is emphasized quantified using simulations and demonstrated with real data. The book compares pa…
