Eine sehr gute und verständliche Einführung die Daten Analyse. Die Beispiele sind leicht verständlich, was die R Ergebnisse leicht interpretierbar macht.

Die R-Skripte kann man leicht nachverfolgen und auch sehr gut selber umsetzten.

Excellent small book.

This is an excellent little book. If you already know basic statistics and some basics of the R language/system it is a very good introduction to the RStudio IDE and how to generate basic scripts and documents for reproducible research. It is not an in-depth treatise on R or RStudio, but can make an excellent companion to standard textbooks and introduces a great community of open source software.
