Yet Again: R + Data Science

by Albert Rapp

There are one thousand and one introductory courses on data science using the statistical software R. This is another one of those. My own take at teaching a selection of topics in R and data science I
picked up throughout my time using R and reading a couple of those one thousand and one introductory courses.
The corresponding lecture videos can be found on YouTube.

Data Management in Large-Scale Education Research

by Crystal Lewis

This book begins, like many other books in this subject area, by describing the research life cycle and how data management fits within the larger picture. The remaining chapters are then organized by each phase of the life cycle, with examples of best practices provided for each phase. Considerations on whether you should implement, and how to integrate those practices into your workflow will be discussed.

An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis and Statistics: A Course in R

by Antonio Paez

The objective of this book is to introduce selected topics in applied spatial statistics. My aim with this book is to introduce key concepts and techniques in the
statistical analysis of spatial data in an intuitive way. While there are other resources that offer more advanced treatments of every single
one of these topics, this book should be appealing to undergraduate students or others who are approaching the topic for the first time.
