Applied Statistics with Python

by Leon Kaganovskiy

Applied Statistics with Python concentrates on applied and computational aspects of statistics, focussing on conceptual understanding and Python-based calculations. Based on years of experience teaching introductory and intermediate Statistics at Touro College and Brooklyn College, this book compiles multiple aspects of applied statistics, teaching the reader useful skills in statistics and computational science with a focus on conceptual understanding. This book does not require previous experience with statistics and Python, explaining the basic concepts before developing them into more advanced methods from scratch. Applied Statistics with Python is intended for undergraduate students in business, economics, biology, social sciences, and natural science, whilst also being useful as a supplementary text for more advanced students.

Key

Concentrates on more introductory topics such as descriptive statistics, probability, probability distributions, proportion and means hypothesis testing, as well as 1-variable regression. The book’s computational (Python) approach allows us to study Statistics much more effectively. It removes the tedium of hand/calculator computations and enables one to study more advanced topics. Standardized sklearn Python package gives efficient access to machine learning topics. Randomized homework as well as exams are provided in my course shell on My Open Math web portal (free).
