easystats is a collection of R packages, which aims to provide a unifying and consistent framework to tame, discipline, and harness the scary R statistics and their pesky models.

However, there is not (yet) an unique “easystats” way of doing data analysis. Instead, start with one package and, when you’ll face a new challenge, do check if there is an easystats answer for it in other packages. You will slowly uncover how using them together facilitates your life. And, who knows, you might even end up using them all.

In this 40 minute tutorial video, Dr Jill Mackay introduces the ‘easystats’ packages and how to use them as ‘R cheats’.
