I honestly can't recommend a book for this. The best resource I've found is MathWorld. I've picked up a bunch of very helpful intuitions from it, including: - Cauchy: the horizontal distance from the origin at which an arrow shot at a rando

I'm sorry! I misread your question as 'Would this be a good book for my level?'.

That's a good question and I was asking myself that I after I wrote that comment. I think my objection is more to the 'Bayesian' and less to the 'methods', if that makes sense. That is, I think constructing and updating models using Bayes'

Well, no, because I don't know any good reasons for using Bayesian methods (except when prior probability distributions can be found objectively through some previous experiment etc).

http://www.amazon.com/Data-Analysis-Bayesian-Tutorial-Public... is short and reputable on Bayesian statistics. On MCMC specifically, I don't know, but MCMC is really a kind of algorithm that lets you find the answer to a mathematical ques

I should like to give a contrarian comment about this, because it is on top of the front page and seems to be being received positively. This book is probably not a good way to learn about statistical inference. It has quite confused explan

That's an interesting point. In fact, the expectation of the random walk is always the same as its starting value, because, although most of the walks go to 0 like you observed, there are very occasionally walks that drift upward to astrono

I visited the site during the affected time on Mac OS X 10.7, with Safari - I'm worried I might be infected. How can I check?

Does anyone have any examples of Google lobbying against clearer legal documents? I would love to see this.

Yeah, exactly. I've used the mobile apps of both, and Rdio's has 9 confusing icons and requires you to learn a complicated mental model of your music library will work, whereas Spotify just has 'Playlists', 'Search', and 'What's New' - coul

Hey. I voted 'use Coffeescript a lot and JS a little'. I like to use the best tools, so to me learning JS was just a step on the way to learning Coffeescript as soon as I had heard about it. It always boggles me when people don't want to us

I'm so impressed with that. If I was getting that much criticism (for something so obviously excellent!) I'd be shaking in my boots. :-(

I agree ( http://www.quora.com/What-online-tools-do-scientists-wish-ex... ). Why don't we just start using GitHub itself to do this and go from there? The pain points will suggest ways that a real science-focused github could improve on Git
