Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Using R by David L. Carlson (English) Paperb

Description: Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Using R by David L. Carlson For archaeologists and anthropologists using quantitative methods on their data, this is the first hands-on guide to using the R statistical computing system. Basic descriptive and inferential statistics are covered as well as multivariate methods including cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, and correspondence analysis. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Using R is the first hands-on guide to using the R statistical computing system written specifically for archaeologists. It shows how to use the system to analyze many types of archaeological data. Part I includes tutorials on R, with applications to real archaeological data showing how to compute descriptive statistics, create tables, and produce a wide variety of charts and graphs. Part II addresses the major multivariate approaches used by archaeologists, including multiple regression (and the generalized linear model); multiple analysis of variance and discriminant analysis; principal components analysis; correspondence analysis; distances and scaling; and cluster analysis. Part III covers specialized topics in archaeology, including intra-site spatial analysis, seriation, and assemblage diversity. Author Biography David L. Carlson is a Professor of Anthropology at Texas A & M University, where he has been teaching quantitative methods and the R statistical system to anthropology graduate students for eight years. His research focuses on the application of quantitative methods to discover and understand patterning in the distribution of artifacts on archaeological sites. He is a co-author of Clovis Lithic Technology (2011). Table of Contents Introduction; 1. Organization of the book; Part I. R and Basic Statistics: 2. Introduction to R; 3.
