Synopsis

Description

Statistics is a powerful tool for data analysis, visualization, and inference. Python is a popular programming language that offers a rich set of libraries and frameworks for statistical computing. Together, they can help you solve real-world problems and make informed decisions based on data. This book teaches you how to use Python to implement statistical concepts and techniques in a practical and effective way. You will also learn how to perform data science and analysis to generate insights, patterns, and trends.

This book introduces the basics of statistics, such as descriptive and inferential statistics, ML, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals. It also covers advanced topics such as regression analysis, linear algebra, statistical tests, time series, survival, and correlation analysis. You will learn how to identify patterns, interpret data, and make data-driven decisions. The book emphasizes practical learning with examples, exercises, and code snippets using popular Python libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and SciPy to perform various statistical tasks.

By the end of this book, you will have a solid foundation in statistics and Python programming. You will be able to explore, analyze, and visualize data using Python. You will also be able to perform various statistical tests and interpret the results.
