Appendices
The appendices are quick-access tools and technical references that support the main chapters. They are designed for efficient lookup: choose methods faster, access lecture slides and teaching bundles, use optional R workflows when needed, and retrieve distribution tables without interrupting analysis flow.
How This Part Is Structured
| Appendix | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Method Selection Guide | Fast path from research purpose to appropriate methods |
| Presentations and Teaching Materials | Index of lecture slides, teaching bundles, labs, and exercises |
| R Language Essentials Used in This Handbook | Optional R patterns for users who want script-based workflows |
| Matrix Algebra Primer | Linear algebra concepts used in modeling chapters |
| Standard Normal / t / Chi-squared Tables | Lookup references for classical inferential computations |
How To Use It
Start with Appendix A — Method Selection Guide when you need a decision shortcut.
Use the presentations appendix when preparing or revising lectures.
Use the other appendices as targeted references while reading the main text; they are not prerequisites for Shiny-first usage.
