Introduction to Statistics

The book Introduction to Statistics by W. Härdle, S.Klinke and B. Rönz has been published in 2015 by Springer Verlag (paper/pdf/epub).

It covers all the topics found in introductory descriptive statistics courses, including simple linear regression and time series analysis, the fundamentals of inferential statistics (probability theory, random sampling and estimation theory), and inferential statistics itself (confidence intervals, testing).

Interactive examples from the book

The interactive examples in the book could be reached via web link of the form https://u.hu-berlin.de/men_xxxx. In the package HKRbook these links has been replaced by functions men_xxxx().

men_asso()  # calls the Shiny app behind "https://u.hu-berlin.de/men_asso"
# Additionally you may use your data sets, for details see ?men_asso

However, we streamlined some apps since they are more or less duplicates from each other.
