Review: A very good book, an easy read and covers a lot of basic statistics concepts you would learn in intro to stats university course but in a way more approachable way. If you already good with your stats, you can skip this book. If you feel like stats need improvement, this is a good start.
Review: I had purchased a new physical copy of the book, and realized there were several pages that were blank and missing. I contacted O'Reilly about the problem and they were extremely quick with a resolution! They were able to give me a different copy so I could read it without the missing pages. The content of the book itself is good, except in all black and white, which doesn't bother me personally but may bother someone else when it comes to the graphs. I think the R and Python content are both great, and it keeps the code concise and quick to the point. Great for R beginners, but for python users I would recommend a little more experience. As for the math parts, its great for those who are new to statistics and gives easy to read explanations, and a great refresher for those who just want to review some of the concepts. I especially like the sections provided for further reading, which have been helpful.

*by F***A on 18 November 2023*

I was looking forward to reading this book due to the excellent reviews on Amazon, but it failed to deliver. I struggled to understand the intended target audience, as most of the concepts are normally taught in high school-level courses. In all honesty, the hype surrounding this book speaks volumes about the average knowledge of statistics among Data Scientists.
