The NICDA group will be having a “Statistics Reading Group” to read and discuss technical books in Statistics and Probability. The first book we will read is Anirban DasGupta’s Probability for Statistics and Machine Learning. This reference book of 20 chapters and 784 pages gives a great overview of fundamental and modern probability methodology that is key for statistical inference. Therefore, it is a great resource for PhD students and researchers in Statistics.
