Looking to learn how to build data analytics models or discover the relationships between variables?

 

In the Statistics for Data Analytics zyBook, you will learn statistics with a focus on regression analysis using R and develop an understanding of the relationships between data, regression model building, and model selection.

Research Proven Excellence

Preferred Choice

80% of surveyed students preferred zyBooks over regular textbooks.

Better Learning

Studies show that students learn 118% more with the minimal text model in only one lesson.

Proven Results

On average, zyBook users improved grades up to ⅔ and read 74% more than users of regular textbooks.

*All findings backed by research.

What is a zyBook?

In short, zyBooks are interactive, digital textbooks.

 

By incorporating available technology, zyBooks make learning fun, interactive and engaging – all while drastically reducing the time spent on learning theoretical concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions

PAYMENT

Will my course fee be subsidised?

No. If you wish to join a course with course fee support*, please check out our Wiley Certified Data Analyst and Unity Certified Associate courses. *Terms & Conditions apply.





CURRICULUM

I have no prior experience. Will I be able to understand the content taught in the zyBooks?

Yes. Unless otherwise specified, all zyBooks are beginner-friendly.



How much time do I have to spend to complete the course?

It depends on your learning style and speed. We estimate taking about 48 hours to read through the material and complete the interactive quizzes at regular speed. Each zyBook comes with 1 year access, and you should have more than enough time to complete and revise the material with regular reading.



Is there a certification examination?

No.



ZYBOOKS

What is a zyBook?

zyBooks are like interactive, digital textbooks. By incorporating available technology, zyBooks make learning fun, interactive and engaging – all while drastically reducing the time spent on reading long texts.



Why should I buy a zyBook instead of a regular textbook?

zyBooks comprise the same content as a textbook but with minimal text and maximum interactivity. Interactive charts and quizzes are strategically placed, allowing students to cement newly learnt concepts.



Do all the zyBooks you offer come with zyLabs (the interactive lab environment)?

No. If zyLabs are included, it will be specified in the course page.
