SC - 1087 | Probability & Statistics for Data Science

I haven't attended any formal education in probability & statistics, whatever I have learnt in bits and pieces till now is through working on data science problems. When I look at the literature available on probability & statistics, I find it too theoretical and generalized. I have felt that there should be some literature on probability & statistics specifically focused on data science.

Recently couple of books have been written which are good and cover some of the context, but I want to cover everything about probability & statistics from basics to statistical learning. I would like to mention that my focus in these posts would be to give intuition on every topic and how it relates to data science rather going deep into mathematical formulas.

This book contains 6 chapters, this one is the first which gives an overview and set the context of subsequent chapters.

Second chapter describes probability & its types, random variables & probability distributions and how they are important from data science perspective.

Probability
Introduction
Conditional Probability
Random Variables
Probability Distributions
Third, Fourth & Fifth chapters cover every topic related to statistics & its significance in data science.
Statistics
Introduction
Descriptive Statistics
Inferential Statistics
Bayesian Statistics
Sixth (& final) chapter elaborates statistical learning, it will be about looking at machine learning or data science from statistical perspective.
Statistical Learning
Introduction
Prediction & Inference
Parametric & Non-parametric methods
Prediction Accuracy and Model Interpretability
Bias-Variance Trade-Off

So if you are looking for similar kind of learning curve, kindly continue with the book.
