5.0 out of 5 starsIn a word: wow !
Reviewed in Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ on February 9, 2023
What a great book! The authors did a marvellous jobs in packing an incredible amount of information in very little pages AND doing it in a very pleasant style that is direct, informative, and extremely clear.
I have read many books in statistics. I can tell you there are very very few written so well and so pleasant to read.
And to top it all, it is one of the very few book of statistics for non-mathematician that *correctly* explain the p-value and t-test. Many statisticians *still* don't understand what that "significance test" really mean. But these authors do understand it very well and this is very important for anyone new to statistics to know this test correctly and in the hand of these authors they *will* learn it correctly.
Thanks a lot to the authors. You did a fabulous job.

I love the book and i did learnt a lot about statistics with various python libraries. I hope it has more complete python codes and detailed step by step explanation. In short python codes and python plots could be better and I hope it can see improvement next edition. If so I will buy it again. Thanks

Reviewed in Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ on January 27, 2021

Amazing book! Just what I needed to learn practical statistics for data science. Sure beats old boring and overly complicated textbooks. The codes in R and Python make it easy to compare the applicable codes in both languages. Thank you for making this book available and for sharing your knowledge. Highly recommended for professionals and students of the field.

This is an excellent book which explains the statistics concepts as required for data scientists. Every topic is explained in right sequence. However, some prior understanding or background in basic statistics would help you in grasping the content faster.
