- efm 9y agoIt assumes you know a fair bit. McElreath's _Statistical Rethinking_ is a better introduction: http://xcelab.net/rm/statistical-rethinking/ http://xcelab.net/rm/statistical-rethinking/
- digitalzombie 9y agoI don't think statistical rethinking is a good book for general statistic at all. It's more a good book for introduction bayesian statistic. And it's super math/stat lite. If you really want to stick with Bayesian Statistic and need a comprehendsive stat for a foundation a better book would be: Doing Bayesian Data Analysis by John K. Kruschke.
- kgwgk 9y agoThis is not an introductory book at all. From the preface: “Our intention was to maintain a technical level of discussion appropriate to Masters’-level statisticians or first-year PhD students.”
