ABSTRACT
The book uses R as its tool of data analysis. As a result, this chapter introduces R and RStudio to the reader, highlights their advantages, and discusses their fundamental features——all the necessary tools needed for later chapters are thus introduced and examined in detail. The chapter starts with the installation process, and no background in R is expected from the reader. The chapter then discusses how to import data into R, perform simple tasks, create figures, and run t-tests and ANOVAs——all using R. The chapter also explores tidyverse, a set of powerful and user-friendly R packages, and R Projects, a great way to optimize file organization.
