Who is this book for?

This book was designed for psychologists already familiar with the statistics they need to utilize, but who have zero experience programming and working in R. Many of the authors of these tutorials had never used R prior to taking the course in which this collection of tutorials was created. In one semester, they were able to gain enough proficiency in R to independently create one of the tutorials included here.

Tutorial Structure

This website was created with 6 major sections: Programming, Plotting, Regression, ANOVA, Advanced topics,and R-Apps.The tutorials build on each other, but can also be utilized independently from one another, and refer back to other chapters that cover related topics in greater depth.

1. R-programming: includes 9 chapters which covers the basics of how install R, review of the important basic functions, and some advanced concepts such data manipulation and transformations to prepare your data for analysis.
   
2. Plotting: included 2 chapters on how to make pretty plots for the most common uses in psychology.
3. Regression: included 8 chapters spanning how to conduct different types of regressions (linear, multiple, moderation/mediation,moderated mediation, logistic, Poisson, and multilevel and Mixed). Chapters focus on how to be able to run models and check assumptions. Some have short theoretical reviews.
   
4. ANOVA: included 2 chapters on how to run between-, within-, and mixed-subjects ANOVAs with simple set of follow-up tests.
5. Advanced topics: included 4 chapters on selecting correlation types, AIRMA, decision trees and signal detection.
6. R Apps: includes a chapter which shows how to make a Shiny application, a living online document which is reactive to user input and a chapter which shows how an ANOVA parses variance.

Some the chapters simulate datasets and others have links for you to download csv files. Each chapter might use different packages (i.e., library of functions), please install.packages("name of package") indicated at the start of each chapter for doing the tutorial.
