Positives: - Each chapter begins with an intuitive short story of what the meaning of the statistical concept is in real life - Contains exercises in the end of the chapters - Wide variety of example types, not constrained to just one field
Negatives: - It is pretty much a textbook otherwise—it’s the narrative style stories in the beginnings of each chapter that makes me share this. For all intents and purposes you may ignore the parts where he tries to teach you Bayesian stats via R :)
