Working with Data in Public Health: A Practical Pathway with R

This book provides a complete practical guide of processing data in public health with R language.

On the basis of the author’s research and teaching experiences, this book serves either as a textbook for undergraduates and graduates in public health or as a tutorial for self-learning.

Many first-hand examples are presented with source data, R scripts, and graphs, as well as detailed explanations, which could be easily reproduced by readers so as to better understand the data processing principles and procedures.

Popular and novel R packages in public health are introduced as well.
