Essential Statistics for Data Science: A Concise Crash Course by Mu Zhu Hardcove

Description: Essential Statistics for Data Science by Mu Zhu Essential Statistics for Data Science: A Concise Crash Course is for students entering a serious graduate program in data science without knowing enough statistics. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Essential Statistics for Data Science: A Concise Crash Course is for students entering a serious graduate program or advanced undergraduate teaching in data science without knowing enough statistics. The three-part text starts from the basics of probability and random variables and guides readers towards relatively advanced topics in both frequentist and Bayesian approaches in a matter of weeks. Part I, Talking Probabilityexplains that the statistical approach to analysing data starts with a probability model to describe the data generating process. Part II, Doing Statistics explains that much of statistical inference is about learningunknown quantities in the model (e.g. its parameters) from the data it is presumed to have generated. Part III, Facing Uncertainty explains the importance of explicitly describing how much uncertainty we have about the model parameters, especially those with intrinsic scientific meaning, and of taking that into account when making decisions. Essential Statistics for Data Science: A Concise Crash Course provides an in-depth introduction for beginners,while being more serious than a typical undergraduate text, but still lighter and more accessible than an average graduate text. Author Biography Mu Zhu is Professor in the Department of Statistics & Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo, and Fellow of the American Statistical Association. He received his AB magna cum laude in applied mathematics from Harvard University, and his PhD in statistics from Stanford University. He is currently Director of the Graduate Data Science Program at Waterloo. Table of Contents PrologueI Talking Probability1: Eminence of Models1.A.

Part I, Talking Probability explains the statistical approach to analysing data with a probability model to describe the data generating process. Part II, Doing Statistics demonstrates how the unknown quantities in data i.e. its parameters is applicable in statistical interference. Part III, Facing Uncertainty explains the importance of explicity describing how much uncertainty is caused by parameters with intrinsic scientific meaning and how to take that intoaccount when making decisions.
