Probability and Statistics for Data Science: Math + R + Data covers ‚math stat’—distributions, expected value, estimation etc.—but takes the phrase ‚Data Science‘ in the title quite seriously:
* Real datasets are used extensively.
* All data analysis is supported by R coding.
* Includes many Data Science applications, such as PCA, mixture distributions, random graph models, Hidden Markov models, linear and logistic regression, and neural networks.
* Leads the student to think critically about the ‚how‘ and ‚why‘ of statistics, and to ’see the big picture.‘
* Not ‚theorem/proof‘-oriented, but concepts and models are stated in a mathematically precise manner.
Prerequisites are calculus, some matrix algebra, and some experience in programming.
