This book critically reflects on current statistical methods used
in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and introduces a number of
novel methods to the reader. Covering many techniques and
approaches for exploratory data analysis including effect and power
calculations, experimental design, event history analysis,
non-parametric testing and Bayesian inference; the research
contained in this book discusses how to communicate statistical
results fairly, as well as presenting a general set of
recommendations for authors and reviewers to improve the quality of
statistical analysis in HCI. Each chapter presents [R] code for
running analyses on HCI examples and explains how the results can
be interpreted. Modern Statistical Methods for HCI is aimed at
researchers and graduate students who have some knowledge of
"traditional" null hypothesis significance testing, but who wish to
improve their practice by using techniques which have recently
emerged from statistics and related fields. This book critically
evaluates current practices within the field and supports a less
rigid, procedural view of statistics in favour of fair statistical
communication.

This book provides an undergraduate introduction to analysing data
for data science, computer science, and quantitative social science
students. It uniquely combines a hands-on approach to data analysis
- supported by numerous real data examples and reusable [R] code -
with a rigorous treatment of probability and statistical
principles. Where contemporary undergraduate textbooks in
probability theory or statistics often miss applications and an
introductory treatment of modern methods (bootstrapping, Bayes,
etc.), and where applied data analysis books often miss a rigorous
theoretical treatment, this book provides an accessible but
thorough introduction into data analysis, using statistical methods
combining the two viewpoints. The book further focuses on methods
for dealing with large data-sets and streaming-data and hence
provides a single-course introduction of statistical methods for
data science.
