• Foundations of Probabilistic Programming (Gilles Barthe, et al.)

  This open access book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the theoretical underpinnings of modern Probabilistic Programming and their applications in machine learning, security, and other domains, etc.

• Bayesian Methods for Hackers: Probabilistic Programming

  This book illuminates Bayesian inference through probabilistic programming with the powerful PyMC language and the closely related Python tools NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, through practical examples and computation - no advanced mathematics required.

• Probabilistic Programming for Procedural Modeling and Design

  It uses probabilistic programming languages to express such Bayesian procedural models. A probabilistic programming language (PPL) provides random choice and Bayesian conditioning operators as primitives, and inference.

• Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction (Kevin Murphy)

  This book is a comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses probabilistic models and inference as a unifying approach. It is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms.

• Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics (Kevin Murphy)

  This book expands the scope of Machine Learning to encompass more challenging problems, discusses methods for discovering 'insights' about data, and how to use probabilistic models for causal inference and decision making under uncertainty.

• Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective (Kevin Murphy)

  This textbook offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning, based on a unified, probabilistic approach. It is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms.

• Introduction to Probability for Data Science (Stanley Chan)

  This book is an introductory textbook in undergraduate probability in the context of data science to emphasize the inseparability between data (computing) and probability (theory) in our time, with examples in both MATLAB and Python.

• Introduction to Probability, Statistics, and Random Processes

  This book introduces students to probability, statistics, and stochastic processes. It provides a clear and intuitive approach to these topics while maintaining mathematical accuracy. The book contains a large number of solved exercises.

• Probability, Statistics, and Random Processes for Engineers

  This book is a comprehensive treatment of probability and random processes that, more than any other available source, combines rigor with accessibility, a useful text for electrical and computer engineers.
