Applied statistics books

I’m so bad at counting that I hated combinations and discrete statistics. But if you don’t have to count balls, statistics can become really exciting. I dislike balls, cards and other chance games as much as I love analog perception problems.

Elements of Statistical Learning

I just ordered Elements of Statistical Learning on amazon. Can’t wait for the book to arrive !

I’ve been looking for a decent book that has a little deeper coverage on statistical learning then Russel & Norvig’s Artificial Intelligence: a modern approach which introduced me to many of the basis on the subject.

Someday, I’ll write a Book class in ruby for zena and I will create a true bibliography…

[edit] This book proves to be a little too hard for me given my (near) total lack of statistical knowledge, so I kidnapped a statistics engineer bought another book
