Introduction to Statistics: An Intuitive Guide for Analyzing Data and Unlocking Discoveries

This book has a bare minimum of math but lays out the reasoning behind the use of statistics and a foundation for how to use statistics in a manner to maximize their helpfulness in problem solving.

It is clear, concise and easy to process.

I bought this book a while back, but barely cracked it open. However, my course work started to take a more statistics-heavy turn, so I decided to reference the book for some topics that confused me. Jim does a great job of explaining topics that were not easy to follow in my textbook for my class. He writes in an approachable way that I think anyone can learn from, especially those of us where it's been a while since we've been in a statistics class. His blog is also great, which was the reason I bought the book to begin with. I use it often for my classes. I have recommended this to my classmates who are also struggling in my class.

Found Mr. Jim Frost’s incredibly helpful blog first, then discovered he has also published books for further understanding. Well-written for the novice or advanced reader interested in statistics, hypothesis testing, analyzing data, other. Arranged so your choice of statistical software can be used to handle the calculations (equations can be found in most textbooks if desired), you get right into learning concepts and practices needed to know how to perform the analysis and interpret results correctly.

I wish I found this book sooner for my ML AI coursework. This book has made such a difference in my comprehension of statistics and its concepts. I purchased his two other books out of faith that they too would get me where I need to be with hypothesis testing and regression.

Love the author's style of writing. He's a famous Stats blogger at statisticsbyhim.com and his writing is super friendly, easy to read, easy to understand, and enjoyable, which is all quite impressive for the topic of Statistics. This book is a blend of what you learn in the classroom and what you use in practice. As a Stats teacher, I find it immensely helpful. It's also a great book for students and those in industry. Highly recommend!

The book is missing some key formulas, as well as data to support a particular example. There is no discussion of the Poisson distribution.

I've been learning statistics on my own for the better part of a year. This brought all the material together in small and large detail and in plain English.
