ANOVA and Mixed Models

ANOVA and Mixed Models: A Short Introduction Using R provides both the practitioner and researcher a compact introduction to the analysis of data from the most popular experimental designs. Based on knowledge from an introductory course on probability and statistics the theoretical foundations of the most important models are introduced. The focus is on an intuitive understanding of the theory common pitfalls in practice and the application of the methods in R. From data visualization and model fitting up to the interpretation of the corresponding output the whole workflow is presented using R. The book does not only cover standard ANOVA models but also models for more advanced designs and mixed models which are common in many practical applications.FeaturesAccessible to readers with a basic background in probability and statisticsCovers fundamental concepts of experimental design and cause-effect relationshipsIntroduces classical ANOVA models including contrasts and multiple testingProvides an example-based introduction to mixed modelsFeatures basic concepts of split-plot and incomplete block designsR code available for all stepsSupplementary website with additional resources and updates are available here.This book is primarily aimed at students researchers and practitioners from all areas who wish to analyze corresponding data with R. Readers will learn a broad array of models hand-in-hand with R including the applications of some of the most important add-on packages.
