Computational Statistics in Python
- arno_v 11y agoLooks nice, but skimming through it I saw loads of typos. Makes you wonder how much effort was put into this.
- nicolewhite 11y agoThe first thing I looked at[1] was missing an entire equation. "Optimization then amounts to finding the zeros of..." http://people.duke.edu/~ccc14/sta-663/OptimizationInOneDimension.html#example-maximum-likelihood-estimation-mle http://people.duke.edu/~ccc14/sta-663/OptimizationInOneDimen...
- lightningstorm 11y agoReally? a huge volume of material was released and you question the effort due to typos? it says version 0.1 at the top.

- JoergR 11y ago"Makes me wonder how much effort was put into this." There, fixed that for you. I don't wonder because I can clearly see how much effort was put into it and also decided not too be a jerk.
- krick 11y agoAnybody knows a book on similar topic with lots of practical examples and exercises? By "practical" I mean that instead of mathematical definition of covariance and example of how to use it in R/Python author would provide us with some real world use case where we're trying to obtain some information about the real world, given some data. Like list of water temperature measurements over the years, number of pirates… you've got the idea.
- logancg 11y agoTry ISLR (for learning/prediction-based stats). Probably the best for someone of your level. Incredibly well written, based around examples, reproducible code. The complex parts – the parts where you need math or abstract concepts – are VERY intuitive. http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/ISLR%20Fourth%20Printing.pdf http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/ISLR%20Fourth%20Printing.... Free download from the authors, too!
- ims 11y agoCam Davidson-Pilon's "Bayesian Methods For Hackers" is a great resource. It's actually written as a group of IPython notebooks so you can actually download them and play with the cells to really understand what's going on.
