Book Description

If you know how to program, you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas, using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics. Once you get the math out of the way, the Bayesian fundamentals will become clearer and you'll begin to apply these techniques to real-world problems.

• Use your existing programming skills to learn and understand Bayesian statistics
• Work with problems involving estimation, prediction, decision analysis, evidence, and hypothesis testing
• Get started with simple examples, using coins, dice, and a bowl of cookies, M&Ms, Dungeons & Dragons dice, paintball, and hockey
• Learn computational methods for solving real-world problems, such as interpreting SAT scores, simulating kidney tumors, and modeling the human microbiome.

• Allen B. Downey is an American computer scientist who is currently working as a Staff Scientist at DrivenData.

• Learning Statistics with Python (Ethan Weed)

  This book explains basic concepts of statistics within the framework of using Python. The blending of statistics and computer coding has quickly become a standard in research to in both academia and industry.

• Think Stats, 2nd Edition: Exploratory Data Analysis in Python

  This concise introduction shows you how to perform statistical analysis computationally, rather than mathematically, with programs written in Python. You'll become familiar with distributions, the rules of probability, visualization, and many other tools and concepts.

• Regression Analysis using Python (Eric Marsden)

  Become competent at implementing Regression Analysis in Python Through the book, you will gain knowledge to use Python for building fast better linear models and to apply the results in Python or in any computer language you prefer.

• 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.

• Bayesian Methods for Statistical Analysis (Borek Puza)

  Bayesian methods for statistical analysis is a book on statistical methods for analysing a wide variety of data. It contains many exercises, all with worked solutions, including complete computer code.

• Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning (David Barber)

  This practical introduction is ideally suited to computer scientists without a background in calculus and linear algebra. You'll develop analytical and problem-solving skills that equip them for the real world. Numerous examples and exercises are provided.

• An Introduction to Bayesian Thinking (Merlise Clyde, et al.)

  This book provides an introduction to Bayesian inference in decision making without requiring calculus. It may be used on its own as an open-access introduction to Bayesian inference using R for anyone interested in learning about Bayesian statistics.

• Bayesian Data Analysis (Andrew Gelman, et al.)

  This classic book is widely considered the leading text on Bayesian methods, lauded for its accessible, practical approach to analyzing data and solving research problems. It takes an applied approach to analysis using up-to-date Bayesian methods.

• Bayesian Networks and BayesiaLab (Stefan Conrady, et al.)

  This practical introduction is geared towards scientists who wish to employ Bayesian Networks for applied research using the BayesiaLab software platform. It can serve as a self-study guide for learners and as a reference manual for advanced practitioners.
