hello world

This is the first post for the blog Stats and R, just to introduce it. This blog aims at helping academics and professionals working with data to grasp important concepts in statistics and to apply them in R.

The goal of this website is to make statistics easy to understand by illustrating with examples and using plain English. When possible, for all statistical concepts covered here, I also write an article on how to apply these concepts in R.

If you are new to this blog and to R, I invite you to start with the following articles:

• How to install R and RStudio
• How to import an Excel file in RStudio
• Descriptive statistics by hand or in R

You can also:

• See all articles or articles by categories for more advanced articles
• Learn more about who is behind this blog
• Follow me on Twitter or Medium
• Subscribe to this blog to receive updates every time a new article is published
• Contribute by writing a guest post

Thanks in advance for reading.
