About the Book
This book aims to get straight to the point, and the only thing I assume here is that you have used spreadsheets at some point and that you are motivated to estimate linear models in R. Here I do not assume that you know how to install R or the basics of the R programming language.
This books contains no proofs. I tried to replace those with multiple examples consisting in analyzing my own experiments, such as throwing a tennis ball and measuring the time it takes to hit the ground from different heights, and another where I got two thermometers and measured the temperature outside a building at the same time of the day on different days.
