July 2015Praise for the First Edition:"? a very practical book that teaches good practice in organizing reproducible data analysis and comes with a series of examples. ? an extremely valuable overview of the current capabilities of R! RStudio! and related software tools for reproducible research. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about these fascinating tools."-Biometrical Journal! 2014"Gandrud has written a great outline of how a fully reproducible research project should look from start to finish! with brief explanations of each tool that he uses along the way. ? the readers who will get the most use from this book are those already working in R and just need a way to organize their work. That being said! advanced undergraduate students in mathematics! statistics! and similar fields as well as students just beginning their graduate studies would benefit the most from reading this book. Many more experienced R users or second-year graduate students might find themselves thinking! 'I wish I'd read this book at the start of my studies! when I was first learning R!' ? a good text for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduate students who are just starting to do technical research. ?
