Growth Curve Analysis and Visualization Using R

The book Growth Curve Analysis and Visualization Using R provides an up-to-date, practical introduction to visualizing and modeling time course and multilevel data. It is particularly well-suited to applied researchers in the fields of cognitive science, neuroscience, and linguistics. Virtually no familiarity with R is required (although it helps). The book does assume a solid understanding of multiple regression, but does not assume prior knowledge or experience working with time course data. Detailed code examples are given using lme4 for linear and logistic growth curve models and ggplot2 for graphing.
