Practical Statistical Consulting: Learning from Everyday Cases Using R

This book presents a practical introduction to statistical consulting through 36 carefully designed hypothetical case studies drawn from realistic problems that resemble those commonly encountered in statistical consulting and applied research using data. Every case study is self-contained and focuses on the essential ideas needed to understand and apply the relevant methods. Discussions are intentionally concise and centered on key concepts, modelling choices, and interpretation of results. A standardized workflow is used across different cases so that readers can quickly orient themselves when approaching a new problem. The case studies collectively cover a broad range of statistical methods commonly used in practice.
