Thinking Statistically

De: Uri Bram

Narrado por: Uri Bram

Thinking Statistically is the book that shows you how to think like a statistician, without worrying about formal statistical techniques. Along the way we learn how selection bias can explain why your boss doesn't know he sucks (even when everyone else does); how to use Bayes' theorem to decide if your partner is cheating on you; and why Mark Zuckerberg should never be used as an example for anything. See the world in a whole new light, and make better decisions and judgments without ever going near a t-test.

Think. Think Statistically.

Rereading or relistening

I honestly don’t remember 99% of what was in this audiobook but I do have a constant positive feeling of respect towards it so I’m coming back for a second listen to actually study at versus listening to this while I drive since there’s no driving to anywhere now.

Good examples but weird formulas

It's hard to follow when he reads the formulas. Sometimes you have to write them while listening. Excellent logic thinking approach

Hilarious and easy to understand

Uri Bram explains key statistical concept with great clarity. He is funny throughout the book; you'll laugh and learn.

a short, supplementary read

well narrated and easy to follow. Not a comprehensive overview of all things statistics, but it helped me to remember some of the basic concepts.

I need to listen to it ooone more time...

To fully understand the book, you have to listen to it twice. I'm newer to the statistics world, so I need to hear it one more time before it all sinks in. It's an interesting listen nonetheless. Though monotone at times, I think it's really nice when the author narrarates his/her own work.

An excellent start.

If you want to start of using statistics in your daily life and tool to use when trying to understand the world, this book gives you enough information to do so.

Great information but hard to listen to

I enjoyed bits and pieces of this book but outside of those bits and pieces that I enjoyed it was a hard lesson very informative but too wordy

Short but sweet (and impact full)

Never thought I could learn so much with such a short book. Cuts through the fluff and teaches you statistical theories you can quickly apply to daily life.

Much better than I expected

Before I bought this book, because of the short length and that it seemed to be more indy, I thought there was a high probability thay I would return it for a refund. But I quickly updatef my beliefs as I heard the author's quirky humor, combined with interesting insights, as well as new vocabulary . I jusy wish the book wss longer. But the shortness has an advantage for busy people, and other stat books can fill in more technical details.

Great book if you never heard of statistics.

Dont get me wrong. Book was awesome. All terms explained with examples and it even included some formulas. Nice. Unfortunatelly all these are explained at any intro to statistics college class. Still you get all that in 1.5h book. Nice.
