I thought it was just me but 2 mathematicians I look up to.
The guy behind Stat Quest & Harry Crane.
Both have explicitly said that there is simply no good book for their maths fields (statistics & probability).
This really needs to be fixed.
Since I alot of people think they are "not gifted" at maths when the real problem is that there is simply very bad study material.
- plonk 2y agoDon't machine learning books kind of fill that gap? e.g. Bishop uses probabilistic reasoning, Elements of Statistical Learning seems to be heavy on frequentist stats (haven't read it though), etc.
- brennanpeterson 2y agoBut there are great books in this area? https://www.statlearning.com https://www.statlearning.com https://www.stat.cmu.edu/~cshalizi/ADAfaEPoV/ https://www.stat.cmu.edu/~cshalizi/ADAfaEPoV/ There are other fine ones, but these are very good.
- max_ 2y agoWhy isn't there a text book that explains math content as simply as Stat Quest? Also, thanks for the resources, they look really good.
