商品描述

This introduction to R for students of psychology and health sciences aims to fast-track the reader through some of the most difficult aspects of learning to do data analysis and statistics. It demonstrates the benefits for reproducibility and reliability of using a programming language over commercial software packages such as SPSS. The early chapters build at a gentle pace, to give the reader confidence in moving from a point-and-click software environment, to the more robust and reliable world of statistical coding. This is a thoroughly modern and up to date approach using RStudio and the tidyverse. A range of R packages relevant to psychological research are discussed in detail. A great deal of research in the health sciences concerns questionnaire data, which may require recoding, aggregation and transformation before quantitative techniques and statistical analysis can be applied. R offers many useful and transparent functions to process data and check psychometric properties. These are illustrated in detail, along with the wide range of tools R affords for data visualisation. Many introductory statistic books for the health sciences rely on toy examples – in contrast, this book benefits from utilising open datasets from published psychological studies, to both motivate and demonstrate the transition from data manipulation and analysis to published report. R Markdown is becoming the preferred method for communicating in the open science community. This book also covers the details of how to integrate the use of R Markdown documents into the research workflow and how to use these in preparing manuscripts for publication, adhering to the latest APA style guidelines.

這本針對心理學和健康科學學生的 R 課程介紹，旨在快速引導讀者克服學習數據分析和統計過程中最困難的部分。它展示了使用程式語言相較於商業軟體包（如 SPSS）在可重現性和可靠性方面的優勢。前幾章以輕鬆的步調進行，讓讀者在從點擊式軟體環境轉向更穩健和可靠的統計編碼世界時，能夠建立信心。這是一種徹底現代且與時俱進的方法，使用 RStudio 和 tidyverse。書中詳細討論了一系列與心理研究相關的 R 套件。健康科學中的許多研究涉及問卷數據，這些數據可能需要重新編碼、聚合和轉換，才能應用定量技術和統計分析。R 提供了許多有用且透明的函數來處理數據並檢查心理測量特性。這些函數將詳細說明，並展示 R 在數據視覺化方面提供的各種工具。許多健康科學的入門統計書籍依賴於簡單的範例，而本書則利用已發表心理學研究的開放數據集，來激勵和展示從數據操作和分析到發表報告的過渡。R Markdown 正成為開放科學社群中溝通的首選方法。本書還涵蓋了如何將 R Markdown 文件整合進研究工作流程的細節，以及如何在準備出版手稿時使用這些文件，遵循最新的 APA 格式指導方針。
