This book is aimed at conservation and development practitioners who need to learn and use R in a part-time professional context. It gives people with a non-technical background a set of skills to graph, map, and model in R. It also provides background on data integration in project management and covers fundamental statistical concepts. The book aims to demystify R and give practitioners the confidence to use it. Key Features: * Viewing data science as part of a greater knowledge and decision making system * Foundation sections on inference, evidence, and data integration * Plain English explanations of R functions * Relatable examples which are typical of activities undertaken by conservation and development organisations in the developing world * Worked examples showing how data analysis can be incorporated into project reports
