Required reading for those engaged in Data Analysis. Eminently readable and practical. Great examples. David Alan Tussey Excellent book to provide practical statistics to the (exaggerated) world of big data. Kaiser Fung has a great way of providing real-world examples that clearly illustrate the statistical or data science principle he is articulating. I've read the book twice. I think it was even more impactful to me and my job as software product manger the second time around. It's an eminently readable book, which is quite an accomplishment given the top. For anyone considering a career entry into data science, this book is highly recommended. For those currently practicing, it would be interesting to learn how you. Chris Paige said It's not what you know. A wise man once said, "It's not what you don't know that kills you, it's what you know for sure that just ain't true," and this book reminds us of that very important principle. As we rely more and more on "numbers" and "data" to make decisions and as we turn more and more of our private data over to the government and non-government data bases, we need to consider just what we're losing and risking when we pretend to know more than we do. When - as Mr. Fung notes - Bill Gates wastes some of his money on small schools, it's no real tragedy (for him; affected students might not be so lucky), but othe. Chandler Nguyen said A decent book with a central theme. This is a decent book on the subject, the author tried to use real life examples to explain different statistics concepts.I think it is suitable statisticians or analytics team members who dont know how to express the business impact of their output easily. It is quite a long book for a central theme though and I think I understand the key takeaways after "A decent book with a central theme" according to Chandler Nguyen.
