This accessible textbook provides an up-to-date introduction to the classical techniques and modern extensions of linear model analysis-one of the most useful approaches for investigating scientific data in the life and environmental sciences. While some of the foundational analyses (e.g. t tests, regression, ANOVA) are as useful now as ever, best practice moves on and there are many new general developments that offer great potential. The book emphasizes an estimation-based approach that takes account of recent criticisms of over-use of probability values and introduces the alternative approach that uses information criteria. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition includes the latest advances in R and related software and has been thoroughly \"road-tested\" over the last decade to create a proven textbook that teaches linear and generalized linear model analysis to students of ecology, evolution, and environmental studies (including worked analyses of data sets relevant to all three disciplines). While R is used throughout, the focus remains firmly on statistical analysis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Statistics with R\u003c\/em\u003e is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students, professional researchers, and practitioners in the fields of ecology, evolution and environmental studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndy Hector, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Ecology, Department of Plant Sciences, University of Oxford, UK\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndy Hector is Professor of Ecology at the Department of Plant Sciences, Linacre College, University of Oxford, UK.
