This book is a great resource. I've gone back to it frequently. If you're interested in getting into statistics and machine learning, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The motivations are good, and the explanations are good. Shalizi's class for this book at CMU is highly sought after, and some of that surely makes its way into this massive book.
- minimaxir 10y agoI took 36-402 with Shalizi during my final semester at CMU and liked it a lot. (although the homework certainly took awhile!) Notably, it used just as much coding in R as statistical theory, which was good for me since I was a coder, and less good for the majority of the class. :P
