Think Stats 2e (O'Reilly)
Tuesday, 06 January 2015

If you know how to program, you have the skills to turn data into knowledge, using tools of probability and statistics. This concise introduction shows you how to perform statistical analysis computationally, rather than mathematically, with programs written in Python. Working with a single case study throughout this thoroughly revised and expanded 2nd Edition, Allen B. Downey covers the entire process of exploratory data analysis from collecting data and generating statistics to identifying patterns and testing hypotheses - distributions, rules of probability, visualization, and many other tools and concepts.
