I am partway through McElreath's "Statistical Rethinking" and I fully agree with this.

    It's been recommended on this topic several times, so I'm looking at it. Quite expensive ! I see there is a series of lectures, which seems identical to the book. Is it the same ? Or still worth buying the book ?

      The lectures are good, and I've been told the book can be found online by the intrepid. I guess that Anna's Archive or Library Genesis has it.

        I've found the book indeed - although it seems to be the first edition. It's here: https://civil.colorado.edu/~balajir/CVEN6833/bayes-resources/RM-StatRethink-Bayes.pdf https://civil.colorado.edu/~balajir/CVEN6833/bayes-resources...

          With all due respect, how hard did you look? This is the third result from a query I ran: https://github.com/Booleans/statistical-rethinking/blob/master/Statistical%20Rethinking%202nd%20Edition.pdf https://github.com/Booleans/statistical-rethinking/blob/mast... Main repo w/ some notebooks: https://github.com/Booleans/statistical-rethinking https://github.com/Booleans/statistical-rethinking

  If you're starting out on statistical rethinking, be sure to check out recoded [0]: a reimplementation of statistical rethinkings exercises using tidyverse, ggplot and brms instead of McElreath's own package. These tools are standard and well worth learning on their own, and they're also more documented than the package made by McElreath.
