• Foundations and Advances of Machine Learning in Official Statistics

  This Open access book gives an overview of current research and developments on the incorporation of machine learning in Official Statistics. It covers methodological questions, practical aspects and cross-cutting issues.

• Age-Period-Cohort Analysis: Models, Methods, Empirical Apps

  Encompassing both methodological expositions and empirical studies, this book explores the ways in which statistical models, methods, and research designs can be used to open new possibilities for Age-Period-Cohort (APC).

• Learning Statistics with Jamovi: A Tutorial for Statistical Analysis

  Covers the analysis of contingency tables, t-tests, correlation, regression, ANOVA and factor analysis, giving a firm grounding in descriptive statistics and graphing. It includes learning aids for applying statistical principles using the Jamovi interface, etc.

• Statistics Done Wrong: The Woefully Complete Guide (Reinhart)

  Scientific progress depends on good research, and good research needs good statistics. But statistical analysis is tricky to get right, even for the best and brightest of us. You'd be surprised how many scientists are doing it wrong.

• Lies, Damned Lies: How to Tell the Truth with Statistics

  The goal is to help you learn How to Tell the Truth with Statistics and, therefore, how to tell when others are telling the truth ... or are faking their "news". Covers Data Analysis, Binomial and normal models, Sample statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, etc.

• Understanding Statistics: An Introduction (Antony Davies)

  This book gives you the tools to understand statistical claims and avoid common pitfalls associated with translating statistical information from the language of mathematics to plain English.

• Introductory Statistics: Concepts, Models, and Applications

  This e-book is a complete interactive study guide with quizzing functionality that reports to the instructor. The on-line text also has animated figures and graphs that bring the print graphic to life for deeper understanding.

• Introductory Statistics (T. H. Wonnacott, et al)

  This book is an introduction to statistics for students of economics or business, suitable for a one or two-semester course, yet uses the simplest mathematics consistent with a sound presentation.

• Mostly Harmless Statistics (Rachel L. Webb)

  This text is for an introductory level probability and statistics course with an intermediate algebra prerequisite. The focus of the text follows the American Statistical Association's Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE).

• Introduction to Modern Statistics (Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel, et al.)

  This book puts a heavy emphasis on exploratory data analysis and provides a thorough discussion of simulation-based inference using randomization and bootstrapping, followed by a presentation of the related Central Limit Theorem based approaches.

• Foundations in Statistical Reasoning (Pete Kaslik)

  This book is designed for students taking an introductory statistics class. The emphasis throughout the entire book is on how to make decisions with only partial evidence. It focuses on the thought process.

• O'Reilly® Think Bayes: Bayesian Statistics in Python

  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.

• Statistical Inference: Algorithms, Evidence, and Data Science

  A masterful guide to how the inferential bases of classical statistics can provide a principled disciplinary frame for the data science of the twenty-first century. Every aspiring data scientist should carefully study this book, use it as a reference.

• Forecasting: Principles and Practice (Rob J. Hyndman, et al.)

  This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to forecasting methods and presents enough information about each method for readers to use them sensibly. Examples use R with many data sets taken from the authors' own consulting experience.

• Foundations of Descriptive and Inferential Statistics (H. van Elst)

  This book aim to provide an accessible though technically solid introduction to the logic of systematical analyses of statistical data to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, in particular in the Social Sciences, Economics, and the Financial Services.
