About My Book
Learn Data Analytics "The Fun Way"
Statistics for Rookies is a book with a primary aim to educate its readers about the most common statistical methods to help them take data-driven decisions “without sweat”. The book presents some common yet very effective statistical concepts in the most engaging and captivating manner.
The secondary aim of this book is to help cement the fundamental statistical concepts in a way that is easy to follow and is jargon-free (this means each statistical terms is demystified by using its simplistic definitions) Example: A Delta, usually represented by Δ is nothing but difference or change in between two quantities.
This book caters to both seasoned and rookie data analysts to understand or refresh the foundational concepts for any data analytics endeavor. The uniqueness of this book is in its simplicity, I have tried not to include too many statistical notations within this book, without compromising with the sanctity and correctness of various statistical methods.
