Check out my video on the Titanic dataset - I think you'll like it th-cam.com/video/SffkBc1MQ40/w-d-xo.html
Nice one! I would also recommend "The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect" for Judea Pearl, "The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail--but Some Don't" by Nate Silver, and "Naked Statistics: Stripping the Dread from the Data" by Charles Wheelan.
Nice! I love it when people recommend books that they found useful themselves. It makes the comment section a neural network of ideas!
🔥🙏
Thanks for you recommendation Sherif.
The Signal and the Noise is the book that reminds me of "Don't judge a book by its cover."
@@RameenFallschirmjageragree! I actually opened this video just to check for recommendations in the comments for my next read, as I am reading The Art of Statistics and enjoying it 😄
I read this book about an year ago. And it really helped me to link statistics to data science.
Do you think it is a comprehensible book for a total beginner in these areas?
@@DrStoCazzo Same question..please
@@DrStoCazzo Unfortunately i dont. Build your foundations first start with basic statisics. There are many resources out there.
This book is also useful for machine learning sister
@@asthamalhotra2345 this book is also useful for machine learning sister?
You reminded me so much of my A-level accounting teacher. I'm learning Python for Data Science. Your videos and sharing are all great and easy to follow. Thanks
Spiegelhalter reshaped my understanding of statistics. He gave me a different feeling for it.
I bought this book several months ago, I had the feeling I had to read it ...now I am sure. Will Start tonight.
can't wait to read it! thank you!
Could you make a video and talk about your "book reading approach" in detail?
For example, if you just read it without highlighting or taking notes etc., maybe you will understand but you will not remember anything after a few days
From today forward, I plan to spend less time watching TH-cam videos, and more time reading. I'll add this book to my list. Thanks for your help.
Good idea!
I love statistics, definetely I'm going to check this.
I just saw this review and I placed my order for this book. Although my “to read” list is getting longer, I cannot wait until it arrives. I really take a lot of stock in your reviews and teachings and enjoy your channel. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!
I got the audible, since its not maths heavy.
Wow! I'm gonna take Diploma of Statistics this Sept. Maybe that's a good book to start with. Thanks sir!
I already bought ur recommended books and they r great, and sure this one will be added to my list
Make no mistake. This is such an awesome book, a very clear and detailed introduction to statistics.
Again thank you for another great book. I’m in healthcare and their is a great need to data driven solutions. I do recognize that maths is a weakness mine which I am working on. Also working on my PhD and do feel this book can be of value.
Congrats to 200k and thanks for sharing this book :-)
I am learning basic english, I'l give this book a try. Thanks for the review.
Wanted to say.... Thank you for all your book reviews. Helps a lot.
This is great! Thank you!
Thank you. Your channel give me many insights and references. Keep going!
Congratulations with 200k subscribers
OH! I bought this book but never got into it, I'll check it out! thanks mate
Loved it you are awesome man👍
Oh Wow. I just picked this book up less than a month ago. Very cool.
Thanks for this recommendation. Right now I just work as a web developer, mostly. But I read it to broaden my horizons. My brain needs to flex in new directions!
Really appreciate your books recommendations, thank you!
Thanks alot for this recommendation- I have just bought the book and will definitely devour it
love it thank you !!
I'm catching flashbacks of Statistics and Econometrics courses back in college 😖
That said, I've order the hardcover through your US link 😀
Nice video-review!
I just finished reading this book and it left me with a bittersweet taste. Don't get me wrong, I loved it! I just feel like I could have gotten more out of it if this were a companion book to the statistics and probability course I took in college a few years ago.
This book "The Art of Statistics" makes sense of statistics under an empirical and direct approach, and I feel that, as I said, the book could have much more impact as a complement.
So, I'm planning on doing a second reading, and before that I would love to ask you: Is there any textbook you would recommend to anyone who wants to learn the contents mentioned this book (at the university degree level) that can go hand in hand with this book?
Please do more book recommendations,
Like the show Numb3rs, that I'm watching again! Thanks for the tip.
Just got the audiobook 👍👍 didnt expect audible have this
Just bought it and started reading already hooked
thanks for your thoughts!
This is kind of book I were looking for because my teacher in university just teach about equations and how to calculate without insight of statistics
A very easy to read and enjoyable book.
I'd like to use your affiliate link, but it only goes to the UK version of Amazon. I feel if I change the URL, it'll no longer credit you as an affiliate. Could you either figure out how to make a US affiliate link or even better make one link that's location independent? Thanks, great content.
Very kind of you to point it out. Now remedied, thanks.
And I recommend "The Cult of Statistical Significance", "The Myth of Statistical Inference", and "Statistical Inference as Severe Testing: How to Get Beyond the Statistics Wars".
I started it a month back so that I can better understand the data science course I’m taking at Flatiron School. It’s very good but I need to finish it.
The chapters get longer as the book goes on. But it's worth getting to the end.
Thanks for this sugestion!
That is great. I have this book, along with the No Bulls__t Guide To Linear Algebra to assist with the math portion of learning data science. It is good to know I made a wise choice. Thank you.
I have been thinking to start learning statistics. This book seems to be a good start. What do you think?
If you want to learn it as personal development it is a gentle start and you won't see painful formulas. But if you want to learn statistics for professional/ academic reasons then you need to add a simple text book like dummies for example.
Fatima Hussain Thanks for your reply 😊. Let me what are other beginner friendly books. I'm aiming to learn datascience.
Would you please suggest a complete course or books in which all basic statistical knowledge are covered?
I have only watched a few of his talks, but he seems to be using LaTex Beamer Class for the presentations. Nice.
Hey Giles
I am a data science enthusiast, and a bookworm too. I was wondering if you have any affiliate links that ship to India as well. Frankly I love your channel and would love to support you in ways I can.
Yeah I just got only the sample from amazon even on kindle
As a non math person, can we read this as beginner? I'm concern of the math.
I didnt plan to finish the video.. but before I realize that I really need to close the video, I am almost finished with it.
Should I read this one first or statistical inference by George Casella
Excellent book, thanks
I'll have to check it out. The example about the doctor reminds me a little bit about how high stakes online poker players have been able to use results data on players to uncover cheating.
the hardback and paperback have slightly different names --- The Art of Statistics: How to Learn from Data
that's the US publication vs the UK publication
@@Fran-td8zw if you look at either the US Amazon of the UK amazon right now (2020 08 25 11:44 am eastern time)
the hardcover is listed as : The Art of Statistics: How to Learn from Data
the paperback is listed as : The Art of Statistics: Learning from Data
@@firstname4337 Doesn't matter which amazon your are visiting, the Hardcover was published by Basic Book which it's located in New York, but the Paperback was originally published by Penguin which it's based in UK, saying that either publisher can publish hardcover or paperback, you can see a Hardcover by the Penguin Release (UK) and you can see a Paperback of the Basic Books release (US).
You can also find an ebook version of both editions, the name it's not based on format.
Can you include American links for your Amazon Affiliate links?
Thank you for the recommendation, I’m really enjoying this engaging book. Do you have a booklist online?
hi i am working on machine learning specifically nlp i wanted to know more in nlp but i admit that i have no knowledge in statics should i read this book first or the preferred book for nlp. which one is more recommend for me?
Great Video!
I'm currently studying Aerospace Engineering and would like to know if it is worth learning python as an engineering student.
We already do some MATLAB in my degree, but I feel like Python has more to offer.
I literally started reading this today!!!!
Could we have a exchange of information? I've been a fan of your channel and currently i working on my PhD but it seems i have got into a wall, i am looking for ideas from someone with your vision
Informative👍👍
Very intersting book
Are you stealing my Amazon Wish List? It is incredible that you are getting all the books in my wish list!!
Mathematics and Statistics are not the same thing. They are both equally important, but one is based on the axioms of mathematics. Statistics does use mathematics, but then so do many other areas of life and study.
Pythin programmer what do you think about naked statistics? from a beginners perpective who has only done some school level stats and skipped most of his operation research lectures in undergrad will it help ?
Bro my computer is full of your recommendations. I'll just add and read this too.
Hello what do you think about julia programming language do you think it is worth to learn it?
Loving these short bite-sized videos!
I have a question though, should one start from these Story and Data-oriented books OR Math / Equation / University like books?
What do you think of these titles?
- Statistics without Tears: An Introduction for Non-Mathematicians - Derek Rowntree
- Naked Statistics - Stripping the Dread from the Data - Charles Wheelan
- ISLR - Introduction to Statistical Learning
- & this one, The Art of Statistics by David Spiegelhalter
What order do you recommend I go in? Thank you very much!
I haven't read the first two. The Art of Statistics is by far the best general introduction that I have read. ISLR is excellent, but heavy going if you don't have high school (A Level) maths.
I've read Statistics without Tears and I love it - thought it made things really easy to understand
@@gilesmcmullen No I can definitely handle the Math in ISLR.
What I'm doubtful of is the advanced version of ISLR, that is ESLR. (Elements of Statistical Learning).
The authors specifically Recommended the ISLR for non math people as well.
Have you done any video reviewing ISLR?
@@gilesmcmullen Also can you make a Playlist on your channel solely for your book reviews? It'd be really helpful (and since you've already done the reviews) that's great value add. :)
I bought ISLR, and have found the contents a bit difficult to grasp. I think i will start with the Art of Statistics. @Python Programmer Thanks for this advice.
Did buy before seeing this video now i have to read it
Do you have a German affiliate link? I believe many mainland Europeans order English books from Germany.
which book with you recommended for Math for Data Sciences?
Sir you are awesome😍
"I didn't know anything about statistics, so now I want everybody to read the first book I read on the subject." :-(
thanks GIles. p.s. also enjoying your udemy Python bootcamp - just completing section 9. Trying to get head around __init__ .... Also can't see it without thinking of a DelBoy style "init"!
I offer python tutoring, respond to the comment if you’re interested:)
This video is a very compelling pitch for the book. The book's reviews on Amazon are very scary though. From printing errors, to the mislabeling of a table, to the book being very introductory...I'm scared.
Can you get it from a library? Then you have a risk free way of deciding whether you like it.
@@gilesmcmullen already asked around if anyone has it. Not ready to give up on it just yet :)
hi , thanks for sharing your experiance , can you show as book that talk about data and interaction with robotics, and AI
Thanks a lot for this book, really helpful :)
Sir I'm a going to be a data science student for 3years bachelor' degree so shall I read this now or later
I have completed the basics of python. Can you tell me where to go next? I am actually a dropout. So, no idea about that but I want to become engineer
Got it. Good book :-)
how can i have it PDF FREE ?? CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLS ???!!!!
books? When we have vidoes? :D
Is better than The Signal and the Noise?
Does it discuss fat tails and Gaussian bias?
Sorry to bother you sir but I like your videos a lot. I am an accountant and would like to know what coding I should I learn to apply in my profession. I know SQL and Python are at the top but just wanted to hear from you sir. Thank you and I look forward to your response.
Python, R and sql are related to data based things
I'll do from this
Can anyone share the pdf of this book
is this book for beginners?
Sir, could you review a book called ‘Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans’ by Melanie Mitchell, please? Cheers!
This book is also useful for machine learning please do replay anyone
Anybody got a pdf of it? ;D
I see what you did there. We'll played.
I bought it this summer and didn't finish it
sold hahah
Please fix the Amazon link so people can click on it! Thanks!
stop reading and start doing
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😽
I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the Neuralink "Upgrade Yourself to Genius" subscription become available in order to be able to understand any statistical hierogliphics
there are no jobs in this field just lots of courses selling u a dream
Jeez ,what's up with all the negativity?
I recently read an opening in Microsoft India for Data Science. The ctc was INR 31 lakhs that too for fresher graduates, no work experience needed.
Way more than than any other company offering for any other position.
now there are x)
3 years ago was literally the perfect time to enter the field smh people will complain anywhere
Jobs do exist but for people who really know the subject (applied math and stats). These miracle courses from udemy won't makes anyone able to get a job like these.
Are you alright bro? You sound like someone didn’t call you back. It’s ok to not get the job if the job requires experience and you have none. But you couldn’t be more wrong. I’m not a data scientist or work with statistics at this point but I work with them and I know they’re always looking for new talent. I advised my brother to pursue statistics few years ago and he’s done very well in half the time it took me to get to a six figure salary. So I don’t know where you live but you’re talking to a world audience here. I know for a fact it’s the thing to pursue at least in North America.
Don't read and drive.
sometimes I feel these recommendations are not genuine as they could easily be sponsorships
This is the crispest pitch for a book I've ever heard.
I got the book for free!
Thanks to my piracy skills :)
It must be really skillful to use a search engine.
