Experiments, surveys, measurements, and observations all generate
data. These data can provide useful insights for solving problems,
guiding decisions, and formulating strategy. Progressing from
relatively unprocessed data to insight, and doing so efficiently,
reliably, and confidently, does not come easily, and yet gaining
insights from data is a fundamental skill for science as well as
many other fields and often overlooked in most textbooks of
statistics and data analysis. This accessible and engaging book
provides readers with the knowledge, experience, and confidence to
work with data and unlock essential information (insights) from
data summaries and visualisations. Based on a proven and successful
undergraduate course structure, it charts the journey from initial
question, through data preparation, import, cleaning, tidying,
checking, double-checking, manipulation, and final visualization.
These basic skills are sufficient to gain useful insights from data
without the need for any statistics; there is enough to learn about
even before delving into that world! The book focuses on gaining
insights from data via visualisations and summaries. The journey
from raw data to insights is clearly illustrated by means of a
comprehensive Workflow Demonstration in the book featuring data
collected in a real-life study and applicable to many types of
question, study, and data. Along the way, readers discover how to
efficiently and intuitively use R, RStudio, and tidyverse software,
learning from the detailed descriptions of each step in the
instructional journey to progress from the raw data to creating
elegant and informative visualisations that reveal answers to the
initial questions posed. There are an additional three
demonstrations online! Insights from Data with R is suitable for
undergraduate students and their instructors in the life and
environmental sciences seeking to harness the power of R, RStudio,
and tidyverse software to master the valuable and prerequisite
skills of working with and gaining insights from data.
