Graphical data exploration: 2.1. Random variables -- 2.2. Visualizing single random variables -- 2.3. Visualizing two or more variables -- 2.4. Trellis graphics --
3. Probability distributions: 3.1. Distributions -- 3.2. Discrete distributions -- 3.3. Continuous distributions -- 4. Basic statistical methods: 4.1. Tests for single vectors -- 4.2. Tests for two independent vectors -- 4.3. Paired vectors -- 4.4. A numerical vector and a factor: analysis of variance -- 4.5. Two vectors with counts -- 4.6. A note on statistical significance --
5. Clustering and classification: 5.1. Clustering -- 5.2. Classification -- 6. Regression modeling: 6.1. Introduction --
6.2. Ordinary least squares regression -- 6.3. Generalized linear models -- 6.4. Regression with breakpoints -- 6.5. Models for lexical richness -- 6.6. General considerations -- 7. Mixed models: 7.1. Modeling data with fixed and random effects --
7.2. comparison with traditional analyses -- 7.3. Shrinkage in mixed-effects models -- 7.4. Generalized linear mixed models --
7.5. Case studies.
"This textbook provides a straightforward introduction to the statistical analysis of language data. It clearly introduces the basic principles and methods of statistical analysis, using R, the leading computational statistics programming environment. The reader is guided step-by-step through a range of real data sets, allowing them to analyze phonetic data, construct phylogenetic trees, quantify register variation in corpus linguistics, and analyze experimental data using state-of-the-art models. The visualization of data plays a key role, both in the early stages of data exploration and later on when the reader is encouraged to criticize initial models fitted to the data. Containing over forty exercises with model answers, this book will be welcomed by all linguists wishing to learn more about working with and presenting quantitative data."
