Le debo mi vida en investigación a este libro (bueh, re exagerada).

An excellent overview of statistics, in general, and a must read for any language researcher. The examples are framed in easy to understand examples. The use of R is completely accessible for any level of experience.

[Giang Sarlah]

Excellent book with the right amount of theory and practice. I learned a lot about interpreting mixed models and simulating data for them from the last few chapters.

[Soroosh Akef]

A very well-written book starting from basic concepts in statistics and moving on to inferential statistics and mixed effects modeling.

I'm sure I'll revisit this book again soon, and this time, I might actually follow along with the R code. 😅
