Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability with Star Wars, Lego, and Rubber Ducks - Softcover
Synopsis
Many professionals use statistics and probabilities in their everyday work but struggle to make much sense of what they're doing. Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way gets you understanding the theory behind data analysis without making you slog through a load of dry concepts first - with no programming experience necessary.
Fun and unusual examples are used to illustrate otherwise dry statistical concepts. You'll learn about probability with LEGO, statistics through Star Wars, distributions with bomb fuses, estimation through precipitation, and come away with some strong mathematical reasoning skills. You'll start with learning about priors and calculating simple probabilities and move on to measuring spreads and distributions, modelling data, simulating monte carlo scenarios, handling irrational data; you'll even get a crash course in R basics.
This is a super approachable book for people who need to do data science and probability work in their lives, but never got a good grip on the underlying theory.

But many people use data in ways they donP#39;t even understand, meaning they arenP#39;t getting the most from it. Plt;iPgt;Bayesian Statistics the Fun WayPlt;/iPgt; will change that.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;This book will give you a complete understanding of Bayesian statistics through simple explanations and un-boring examples. Find out the probability of UFOs landing in your garden, how likely Han Solo is to survive a flight through an asteroid shower, how to win an argument about conspiracy theories, and whether a burglary really was a burglary, to name a few examples.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;By using these off-the-beaten-track examples, the author actually makes learning statistics fun. And youP#39;ll learn real skills, like how to:Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;- How to measure your own level of uncertainty in a conclusion or beliefPlt;brPgt;- Calculate Bayes theorem and understand what itP#39;s useful forPlt;brPgt;- Find the posterior, likelihood, and prior to check the accuracy of your conclusionsPlt;brPgt;- Calculate distributions to see the range of your dataPlt;brPgt;- Compare hypotheses and draw reliable conclusions from themPlt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Next time you find yourself with a sheaf of survey results and no idea what to do with them, turn toPlt;iPgt; Bayesian Statistics the Fun WayPlt;/iPgt; to get the most value from your data.
