Modern Statistics: Intuition, Math, Python, R

I love Dr. Cohen’s clear and engaging tone! Having taken his EEG, stats, and MATLAB courses, I was thrilled to get this book. It’s a great resource with very intuitive explanations of statistical methods. I especially recommend it for those without a neuroscience or experimental background who haven’t collected data before. It helps build an understanding of data such as outliers and emphasizes that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to analysis. Plus, the wide margins make it perfect for taking notes. Highly recommend! 📖✨

This is an amazing text on Statistics written from the field, not like some BS ivory tower professor’s book. I wish I had seen this book before I spent hours trying to figure out inconsistent notations, formula proofs in other books. This book should be a prerequisite for anyone who wants to learn what statistics knowledge is necessary today.

If you truly want to learn AND understand statistics, then this is the book! Very detailed yet conversational and easily digested. Superb explanations for each statistical analysis and type.

Arrived quickly and in great shape

This book is an absolute must-have for those wanting to develop an intuitive understanding of statistics. Cohen has a knack for explaining concepts in an accessible way, and the coding exercises do a great job of reinforcing the content.

Mr. Cohen has a talent for writing in a clear and plain manner. I have all of his books. His Linear Algebra book is a must have for Data Scientists.

This is a good book; I personally think it's better than most (if not all) introductory STAT textbooks that cover basic estimation, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and introductory linear models. This isn't a math book; it's more of an idea/methods book that has some math with it. Expect intuition to be emphasized over rigor 999 times out of 1000. If you're looking for something that'll flex your math chops, try Casella and Berger; you'll need multivariate calculus and some mathematical maturity to get through it. Otherwise, I think Mike's book is an excellent starting point for getting get your feet wet.

Difficult to read, even under bright light with good vision, because the text of the entire book is grey. Looks like what happens when your printer is almost out of ink. Also the title on the side is upside down from normal which doesn't really matter but speaks to the amount of quality control that went into the printing...
