Book Review: Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability With Star Wars, Lego, and Rubber Ducks
Highlights
A Book Review on Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability With Star Wars, Lego, and Rubber Ducks
Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way is an engaging introduction to Bayesian inference by Kurt (2019)
Among entry-level books, Kurt’s is excellent at introducing both Bayesian inference (Ch. 1, 9, 17) and Bayesian statistics (Ch. 5, 8, 15, 16, and 18), less so at introducing probability (Ch. 2–4, 6, and 7—e.g., Phillips, 1973, does it better), at delving into descriptive statistics (Ch. 10–13), and at presenting Bayesian parameter estimation (Ch. 19—which reads as an afterthought, tucked away at book’s end)
Summary
A Book Review on Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability With Star Wars, Lego, and Rubber Ducks. Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way is an engaging introduction to Bayesian inference by Kurt (2019).
