What are some good statistics resources?

191 Views Asked by At

A year ago, I took a statistics course at my university. The course was based on Rice's "Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis". Apart from the fact that I did not find the book terribly good, I found that the lectures did not aid me a lot in understanding the material either. I did pass the course, but I didn't feel I really understood the material.

Fast forward a year. I have now come to realise that statistics can be a very interesting and useful subject, but I haven't done any statistics ever since the course I just mentioned. I'm thinking of doing some statistics courses for my Master's degree, though.

Question: do you know any good resources (video lectures, books, solved problems) which I can use to brush up my statistics knowledge? I like books that have a large number of solved problems and worked examples, so I can check whether I actually solved the problems correctly.
