“It was very interesting to go through the pages of this book. The authors should be commended for writing a thorough book about complex concepts of data analysis in R that could, however, be read easily. I warmly recommend this book to students of statistics but also to professionals who would like to acquire advanced analytical skills or improve their competencies in R, especially nowadays with R very popular amongst data analysts.” (Georgios Nikolopoulos, ISCB News, iscb. info, Issue 71, June, 2021)
