Statistical Inference Via Data Science

About this book

Statistical Inference via Data Science: A ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse, Second Edition offers a comprehensive guide to learning statistical inference with data science tools widely used in industry, academia, and government. The first part of this book introduces the tidyverse suite of R packages, including ggplot2 for data visualization and dplyr for data wrangling. The second part introduces data modeling via simple and multiple linear regression. The third part presents statistical inference using simulation-based methods within a general framework implemented in R via the infer package, a suitable complement to the tidyverse. By working with these methods, readers can implement effective exploratory data analyses, conduct statistical modeling with data, and carry out statistical inference via confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. All of these tasks are performed by strongly emphasizing data visualization. Key Features in the Second Edition: Minimal Prerequisites: No prior calculus or coding experience is needed, making the content accessible to a wide audience. Real-World Data: Learn with real-world datasets, including all domestic flights leaving New York City in 2023, the Gapminder project, FiveThirtyEight.com data, and new datasets on health, global development, music, coffee quality, and geyser eruptions. Simulation-Based Inference: Statistical inference through simulation-based methods. Expanded Theoretical Discussions: Includes deeper coverage of theor
