This book is bridging the gap for organisations and individuals, in an English as a second language setting, who need to learn and use R in a part-time professional context. It gives people with a non-technical background a set of skills to understand the usefulness of graphing, mapping, and modelling in R, using relatable examples throughout. It also provides background on inference and data integration in project management to assist the reader in understanding the logic and utility behind evidence-based decision making. The book explains the major functions in R in clear terms, making it accessible to everyone, with the aim to demystify R and give people the confidence to use it.

Key Features:

  • Foundation sections on inference and evidence, and data integration in project management
  • Exploration of R usage through a narrative examining a generic integrated conservation and development project
  • A final section on R for reproducible workflow
  • Accompanied by an R package

Industry Reviews

"The author leads the reader smoothly through the chapters of Part I and II, giving exactly as much information as is needed. This is the biggest advantage of the book. The new information and the R codes are given in a short but comprehensive and thoughtful way. With few words, the reader receives a message which is clear and easy to understand."

- Kinga Salapa, International Society for Clinical Biostatistics, 72, 2021
