<b>Fun guide to learning Bayesian statistics and probability through unusual and illustrative examples.</b><br><br>Probability and statistics are increasingly important in a huge range of professions. But many people use data in ways they don't even understand meaning they aren't getting the most from it. <i>Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way</i> will change that.<br><br>This book will give you a complete understanding of Bayesian statistics through simple explanations and un-boring examples.
