Chapter 5. What Are Statistics?

Overview

Statistics are numbers, but the practice of statistics is the craft of measuring imperfect knowledge. That's one definition, and there are many more.

This chapter is a collection of short essays to get you started on the many ways of statistical thinking and to get you used to the terminology of the field.

Ponderings

The Business of Statistics

The discipline of statistics provides the framework of balance sheets and income statements for scientific knowledge. Statistics is an accounting discipline, but instead of accounting for money, it is accounting for scientific credibility. It is the craft of weighing and balancing observational evidence. Scientific conclusions are based on experimental data in the presence ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
