ModernDive

Welcome to the GitHub repository page for Statistical Inference via Data Science: A ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse.

• Second Edition (current): moderndive.com/v2/ — also available in print from CRC Press.
• First Edition (archived): moderndive.com.

Branches and Source

The book has been migrated from bookdown to Quarto. As of v2.1.0, the live build pipeline uses Quarto.

Branch	Source format	Status	Deploys to
v2-quarto-html	Quarto (.qmd)	Active development for the next release of the Second Edition.	v2-publish branch (preview).
v2	bookdown (.Rmd)	Canonical build of the Second Edition currently served at moderndive.com/v2/. Will be superseded by v2-quarto-html after merge.	gh-pages/v2/ (live: moderndive.com/v2/).
master	bookdown (.Rmd)	First Edition source.	gh-pages (live: moderndive.com).

The source for previously released versions is on the Releases page. A summary of all changes between versions is in NEWS.md.

Building the Book Locally

To render the Second Edition locally from the v2-quarto-html branch:

1. Install Quarto (≥ 1.4).
2. Install R (the build was developed against R 4.5.2).
3. From the repo root, run renv::restore() to set up the locked R package environment.
4. Run quarto preview for live reload, or quarto render for a one-shot HTML build into docs/.

The master branch (First Edition) still uses bookdown; building it requires install.packages("bookdown") and bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd").
