Statistical Rethinking I

Inhalt:

This is a second-semester of the year-long course on Statistical Rethinking.
This is a book-club style seminar dedicated to reading and understanding " Statistical Rethinking book (online version with full text can be found here https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/statistical-rethinking/9781482253481/). This is an excellent introductory statistics book that builds your understanding of statistics from ground up, explains the principles slowly and clearly and has plenty of examples. Which is why, no prior knowledge of statistics is required. In fact, we will start completely from scratch, rethinking the concepts of probability and inferences, learning how to build models by hand, making sure we understands them at every step.
As noted, this a book-club style seminar. Prior to each meeting everyone must read a chapter and do the exercises. We meet to discuss the chapter and to help each other understand the tricky bits.
