Statistics For Programmers

Julia Evans shares some good resources for developers interested in statistics:

even more links

• a paper someone said was good (by Efron): Bootstrap Methods: another look at the jackknife

• this book by 5 people named lock

• this blog post has an overview of different nonparametric tests

• this podcast with Philip Guo and John DeNero where they talk about teaching stats to programmers

• nonparametric statistical methods

• openintro has free some statistics books

There are a lot of good links in Julia’s post.  I should also mention that Andrew Gelman and Deborah Nolan have a new book coming out in July.  Gelman’s Bayesian approach suits me well, so I’m pre-ordering the book.
