Abstract
This chapter presents basic statistical methods used in describing and analysing univariate data in R. It covers the topics of descriptive and inferential statistics of univariate data, which are mostly treated in introductory courses in Statistics.
It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
— Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
