Ask HN: Learning Statistics?
What is the best resource for learning statistics, intuitively?
- wizzerking 10y agoAs an Applied Mathematician I just used books that talked about probabilities but for explaining my work to co-workers who were not trained I found the following to be helpful http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-and-Use-Basic-Statistics http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-and-Use-Basic-Statistics For actual learning the following may be helpful https://blog.udemy.com/learn-statistics/ https://blog.udemy.com/learn-statistics/ For open Source Books http://www.intechopen.com/search?q=statistics http://www.intechopen.com/search?q=statistics http://freecomputerbooks.com/search.html?cx=partner-pub-5976068913745703%3A4325807428&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=statistics&sitesearch=freecomputerbooks.com&keywords=statistics&x=0&y=0 http://freecomputerbooks.com/search.html?cx=partner-pub-5976...

- Mz 10y agoA couple of good books: How to lie with statistics (Good intro to concepts, light on actual math) The cartoon guide to statistics (the first chapter or two covers what I learned in my college Intro to Stats class -- the rest is over my head)
