The Art of Statistics Review

Data and Statistics are a core subject in many disciplines, Machine Learning in between them. Aside from very technical fields like AI and Data Science, statistics and probability are basic in our everyday life, being fundamental in economics and psychology.

Most people, even some with a technical background don’t have a good grasp or don’t feel very comfortable with statistics and probability, mostly because of the numerical and sometimes anti-intuitive nature of the fields.

It is because of this that we think The Art of Statistics is such a great book: it teaches statistics and probability in a clear, elegant and what is even harder, amusing way. You will end up reading No products found. like if it was a novel.

This book has all the answers to your statistics and probability questions and you can read it with pleasure, finally understanding a dark art.

With more than 400 pages of pure knowledge, No products found. aims at increasing the statistical literacy of the general public and it is taught with interesting, real-life, often high-profile examples to be engaging and accessible: anyone can read it and understand it with no problem.

We want to highlight that despite treating subjects like statistical analysis and problem solving, randomised controlled experiments, sampling, regression, statistical significance, or Bayes Theorem, it is clearly written for a broad audience, and plenty of case studies and examples that address how interesting questions can be addressed through statistics and probability.

Also, it contains a glosarry that goes into greater depth on the algebra and maths of statistical analysis. We really recommend this book for readers with little technical background that want to learn what statistics is all about and what we can do with it. Find it on amazon at the best price:
