«A free platform on which cutting-edge statistical methods are increasingly implemented, R is the software of the future. It can, however, be daunting for social workers and others in the human services. No more. Zeitlin and Auerbach make it easy-they provide a unique introductory statistics text built around easily understood step-by-step classroom-tested instructions for using R. What is more, they do this in an engaging conversational style and provide a wide range of excellent resources, including video links, datasets relevant to the human services, downloadable R scripts, a glossary, and chapter exercises."»
