This is an introductory textbook for learning statistics. It helps the reader develop a conceptual understanding of statistics. New concepts are introduced with examples designed to be familiar to the reader, serving as a useful starting point for exploring more abstract concepts.

A. Bradley Duthie is a Lecturer in Environmental Modelling at the University of Stirling. Brad completed undergraduate degrees in Biology and Philosophy at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He finished his PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Iowa State University with a graduate minor in Statistics. His research focuses primarily on theory and modelling in ecology and evolutionary biology with particular interests in evolutionary ecology and community ecology. He also contributes to several research projects as a biostatistician and wrote and maintains two R packages for agent-based modelling.
