'Excellent' "An excellent introduction to subjects critical to all data scientists." —insideBIGDATA 'Engaging' "An engaging introduction . . . the book introduces Bayesian methods in a clear and concise manner, without assuming prior statistical knowledge and, for the most part, eschewing formulations. . . . quite suitable for a crash course in applied Bayesian statistics." —Jose D. Perezgonzalez, Frontiers in Psychology 'Fantastic' "This is one of the best (and only) introductory statistics books I’ve seen . . . it’s a fantastic read." —Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti, Technical Reviewer About the Author Will Kurt currently works as a data scientist at Wayfair, and has been using Bayesian statistics to solve real business problems for over half a decade. He frequently blogs about probability on his website, CountBayesie.com. Kurt is the author of Get Programming with Haskell (Manning Publications) and lives in Boston, Massachusetts. Who Should Read This Book The only requirement of this book is basic high school algebra. If you flip forward, you’ll see a few instances of math, but nothing particularly onerous. We’ll be using a bit of code written in the R programming language, which I’ll provide and talk through, so there’s no need to have learned R beforehand. We’ll also touch on calculus, but again no prior experience is required, and the appendixes will give you enough information to cover what you’ll need.
