Intro to Statistics

Statistics is crucial to Data Science! In fact, the phrase Data Science was first used in a Statistics conference title. In this video, I'll cover 3 key concepts from Statistics that every Data Scientist needs to know. Statistical features, probability distributions, and Bayesian statistics will be explained using code, theory, and animations. Our specific application will be finding an optimal credit score for someone using Lending Club's loan data. Expect a musical interlude. Enjoy!

This is pure Gold. I know many of friends do trading and have seen the candle stick diagrams. Never imagined it has so much information in the Box Plot. Siraj is the best. The best thing is he is so knowledgeable yet so much entertaining. I can not think of any educational youtuber that can do this.

Awesome. Thanks for helping everybody so much

8:35 The Poisson Distribution is like normal but with edit factor of skewness!! Nailed it!!!

Oh! What I love about statistics is it gives you the ability to give graphic meaning to data thus making it easier to explore the data and give close to accurate decisions

[NickKartha]

This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm in a Business Modelling using R workshop and it was all statistics. Thank you!

Esse topete dá +10 de INT pra quem vê os vídeos dele. Thanks for the videos and efforts, Siraj! Started watching your videos with the Random Forest thingy (understood absolutely nothing), but I'm stills studying things, and I always end up coming back to your explanations over tech stuff. Keep up your good work (and the topknot)!

My brain got fried with all that info.

Thanks; I am in the process of developing some new brain muscles.

At 8:19, the legends for the graphs are reversed. Blue one should be U(4, 12) and red one U(1, 6)

[TheRohan]

Okay, this is Epic!!!
Man you make it sound so simple and easy to understand. This is by far the best tutorial I have watched related to statistics. Thank you so much for your time and effort you have put into this.

[tanbirsohail]

When you realise Siraj teaches and makes you understand in 13 mins what your professor is unable to teach you in 2 semesters. 😎😎

Many thanks from Brasil, I work with the paleozoic excel/access for years, and now a feel likes I'm the future. Thanks again for make this easier.

You put out such good concise simple content. Never trying to be the smartest guy in the room, but definitely is lol. Great teaching.

[bsandhar]

You're videos are great man, can't believe I just found this page

[BiancaAguglia]

Thank you, Siraj. It was a nice overview of statistics. I only understood a little of it (my ignorance is to blame here) but that won't stop me from doing this week's challenge. Sooner or later I'll become a data scientist. 😁

[rajeshaditya]

Right when I needed a video on stats and probability !!! Very well explained bro thanks. A lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love from India

Hahaha that blue t-shirt girl vs red dress girl picture just fits in anywhere!
