Statistical Inference for Everyone

By Brian Blais

Book Overview

Approaching an introductory statistical inference textbook in a novel way, this book is motivated by the perspective of "probability theory as logic". Targeted to the typical "Statistics 101" college student this book covers the topics typically treated in such a course - but from a fresh angle. This book walks through a simple introduction to probability, and then applies those principles to all problems of inference. Topics include hypothesis testing, data visualization, parameter inference, and model comparison. Statistical Inference for Everyone is freely available under the Creative Commons License, and includes a software library in Python for making calculations and visualizations straightforward.
