something called mathematical statistics and data analysis was my college textbook. it covers those things but it's a tough read and i did not like it. now actually, statistics is already quite advanced math. you might want to try learning probability theory and measure theory first as they are considered prerequisites.
- Eugeleo 7y agoOk, thanks, I’ll be on the lookout for that one. I have some basic linear algebra and analysis under my belt, not too much probability nor measure theory, though. I hoped there might be some way to introduce the concepts in an intuitive manner (and as much rigor and detail as possible on this level) while maybe leaving some of the proofs or harder parts out. Most of the books I’ve seen are either “monkey see, monkey do” or rigorous mathematical gibberish, but nothing in between.
