Statistics with jamovi

Navigating this website/book

This book was developed in R/Rstudio using bookdown and is hosted on a platform called GitHub. You can see the code for this book here.

There are some icons at the top of this book that you may find useful:

  1. The first button of the toolbar toggles the visibility of the sidebar, which contains the table of contents. You can also hit the S key on your keyboard to toggle the sidebar.

  2. The second button of the toolbar is the search button, which you can use to search the entire book. You can also hit the F (Find) key on your keyboard.

  3. The third button is for font/theme settings, which you can use to change font size (smaller or bigger), font family (serif or sans serif), and theme (white, sepia, or night).

  4. The fourth button provides information on the keyboard shortcuts.

  5. On the right of the toolbar are icons to share on various social media platforms.

Answers to questions are found in the Answers appendix.

Errors, mistakes, and suggestions

I am human, therefore I err. If you find an error in the textbook or something you think might be a mistake, please let me know ASAP so I can update this for everyone else. Let me know which section you find the error or mistake in and what the error or mistake is. For example, if there was an error here you could say, “There was an error in 1.2 that the first sentence should really be ‘To err is human (Alexander Pope, 1711).’”

In addition, if you have ideas to help make this textbook even better, please let me know. I would love to make this a useful resource to you both during our course and in your future research. Help me in making that a reality!
