About this book :-
"Statistical Inference via Data Science: A ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse" by Chester Ismay and Albert Y. Kim is a modern, hands-on guide to learning "statistical inference" through practical "data science" techniques. The book emphasizes learning through real datasets, teaching readers to think critically about data while using modern tools in the "R programming language". It balances theory with practice, making complex concepts like hypothesis testing and confidence intervals accessible for students and beginners.
The book introduces data wrangling, visualization, and manipulation using the "tidyverse" suite of R packages, including "ggplot2" and "dplyr". Readers then learn simulation-based inference, regression modeling, and hypothesis testing using the "infer" package. By integrating statistical inference with computational workflows, the book shows how to explore patterns, fit models, and make evidence-based decisions. Emphasis is placed on understanding the reasoning behind statistical methods rather than just applying formulas.
Ideal for students and professionals entering applied statistics or data science, this book equips readers with practical skills in "data analysis", "visualization", and computational "inference". By combining clear explanations, reproducible examples, and real-world datasets, "Statistical Inference via Data Science" builds a solid foundation in modern statistical thinking, preparing learners to confidently analyze data, conduct hypothesis tests, and draw meaningful conclusions in research and professional applications.
