[Andrew Obrigewitsch · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a decent book on Probability and Statistics.

[Arun Mahendrakar · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a big book covering many topics like Probability, distributions, ANOVA and correlation. There are quite a few problems to solve that will help you strengthen your learning. But this book lacks explaining the concept. The author directly dives into the formula and it's usage. Detailing how to intuitively think about say, regression, will make this book really worthwhile.

[Michael Buford · Rating 3 out of 5]

I dislike the format of the book. Jaynes "Probability: The Language of Science." and Savage's "The Foundations of Statistics." seem like better options if you're wanting to learn Bayesian Probability and Statistics.

[Ira Burton · Rating 3 out of 5]

A must read for people trying to make heads or tales of Statistics. The Probability section is a bit weak, but other than that a great text.

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The chapters are well-written, but the problems are often rudimentary for the material presented.
