Sepulveda M. The Hitchhiker's Guide to Linear Models...R program. language 2024

Textbook in PDF format

For every exercise I did my best to connect the specific statistical concepts with R code, and every time I use linear algebra I connect it with a concrete R example. In this book you will not find something such as "this is left as an exercise to the reader".
This book aims to get straight to the point, and the only thing I assume here is that you have used spreadsheets at some point and that you are motivated to estimate linear models in R. Here I do not assume that you know how to install R or the basics of the R programming language.
This books contains no proofs. I tried to replace those with multiple examples consisting in analyzing my own experiments, such as throwing a tennis ball and measuring the time it takes to hit the ground from different heights, and another where I got two thermometers and measured the temperature outside a building at the same time of the day on different days
