摘要
SIAM评论,第67卷,第1期,第206-207页,2025年3月。这是一本大胆的书!朱教授希望以极短的篇幅提供数据科学家所需的基本统计知识。它让我想起了Larry Wasserman的All of Statistics (b施普林格,2014),但它针对的是硕士生(通常来自统计以外的领域)或高级本科生(也通常来自其他领域)。作为参加过太多教师会议的人,我赞赏简洁和专注。作为一名业余发型师,我欣赏强烈的技术写作。作为一名应用统计学家,我曾向来自其他学科的硕士和博士教授基础统计学,我很欣赏这样一本书的必要性。对于正确的课程,我很乐意使用这本书,尽管我需要用其他材料补充它。
Book Review:; Essential Statistics for Data Science: A Concise Crash Course
SIAM Review, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 206-207, March 2025. This is a bold book! Professor Zhu wants to provide the basic statistical knowledge needed by data scientists in a super-short volume. It reminds me a bit of Larry Wasserman’s All of Statistics (Springer, 2014), but is aimed at Masters students (often from fields other than statistics) or advanced undergraduates (also often from other fields). As an attendee at far too many faculty meetings, I applaud brevity and focus. As an amateur stylist, I admire strong technical writing. And as an applied statistician who has taught basic statistics to Masters and Ph.D. students from other disciplines, I appreciate the need for a book of this kind. For the right course I would happily use this book, although I would need to supplement it with other material.
期刊介绍:
Survey and Review feature papers that provide an integrative and current viewpoint on important topics in applied or computational mathematics and scientific computing. These papers aim to offer a comprehensive perspective on the subject matter.
Research Spotlights publish concise research papers in applied and computational mathematics that are of interest to a wide range of readers in SIAM Review. The papers in this section present innovative ideas that are clearly explained and motivated. They stand out from regular publications in specific SIAM journals due to their accessibility and potential for widespread and long-lasting influence.
