Quantitative Social Science Data with R by Brian J Fogarty

Relevant, engaging, and packed with student-focused learning features, this book provides the basic step-by-step introduction to quantitative research and data every student needs.

A great, action-oriented book for novice data analystsIf you have no background in quantitative social science, Fogarty′s book gives you a toolbox for starting statistical analysis and developing your skills.

-- Jamie Monogan

The chapters are well organised and guide the student through the background using worked examples – this is vital to gain the necessary proficiency in the R interface. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to develop not only software competence, but a wider appreciation of the background to data analysis techniques in the social sciences.

-- Gareth Norris
This landmark book provides an engaging multidisciplinary introduction to quantitative social sciences using R, increasingly the preferred programme for statistical analysis across disciplines. Fogarty’s book is a perfect companion for the novice and it is likely to become the standard reference in quantitative methods teaching across the social sciences. -- Viktoria Spaiser

As Fogarty notes, there is little need for another statistics book. What there is a need for is a comprehensive text that provides the necessary tools for quantitative research in the social sciences, which is what this book does. Students need books that will guide them through finding, cleaning, analyzing, and presenting data using statistical programs like R, making this book an important text for any higher-level data analysis, statistics or research course in the social sciences.

-- Michelle Maroto
