- Print vs. Digital: These PDFs are dense. Print the first chapter of Boyd or Bishop; it is impossible to read heavy math on a phone.
- Title: All of Statistics: A Concise Course in Statistical Inference
- Author: Larry Wasserman (Carnegie Mellon)
- Why you need the PDF: This is arguably the most important technical publication for the working data scientist. It bridges the gap between theoretical statistics and computational applications. The PDF version is highly circulated in academic circles because it is concise (no fluff) and dense with R code examples.
- Key Takeaway: Focus on the sections regarding bootstrapping and causation vs. correlation. Wasserman famously articulates the limits of data science when he discusses "The Fundamental Problem of Causal Inference."
