Biostats books: Enough R to write a thesis
The biostats books are written to give you enough skills to write a thesis.
The books emphasis reproducible research.
Working in R
Learn how to import, manipulate and visualise data with our working in R book. After an introduction to R, this book has a tidyverse flavour, showing how to manipulate data with dplyr
and make publishable plots with ggplot2
. It includes lots of exercises to hone your skills.
The data life-cycle
Your data are precious. Learn how to take care of them with our data life-cycle book.
Statistics in R
Coming soon!
Reproducible documents with R
Learn how to write reproducible documents (anything from a course assignment to a thesis or manuscript) in quarto: no more copy-paste nightmares. Quarto is the successor to R markdown (our earlier R markdown book is here). All the biostats books were written in R markdown or quarto; you can see the source code in our repo on GitHub.
Git and GitHub
