This book is primarily aimed at students, researchers, and practitioners from all areas who wish to analyze corresponding data with R. Readers will learn a broad array of models hand-in-hand with R, including the application of some of the most important add-on packages.

Lukas Meier is a senior scientist at the Seminar für Statistik at ETH Zürich. His main interests are teaching statistics at various levels, the application of statistics in many fields of applications using advanced ANOVA or regression models, and high-dimensional statistics. He co-leads the statistical consulting service at ETH Zürich and is the director of a continuing education program in applied statistics.
