Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way by Will Kurt

Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way gets you understanding the theory behind data analysis without making you slog through a load of dry concepts first - with no programming experience necessary. You'll learn about probability with LEGO, statistics through Star Wars, distributions with bomb fuses, estimation through precipitation, and come away with some strong mathematical reasoning skills. This is a super approachable book for people who need to do data science and probability work in their lives, but never got a good grip on the underlying theory.
"An excellent introduction to subjects critical to all data scientists"
—Inside Big Data

"The author uses great examples to clarify key concepts . . . I would highly recommend as a supplement for any stats student or professional looking to refresh on Bayesian statistics."
—Stan T., Design Collective
