Taken literally, the title "All of Statistics" is an exaggeration.
But in spirit, the title is apt, as the book does cover a much
broader range of topics than a typical introductory book on
mathematical statistics. This book is for people who want to learn
probability and statistics quickly. It is suitable for graduate or
advanced undergraduate students in computer science, mathematics,
statistics, and related disciplines. The book includes modern
topics like nonparametric curve estimation, bootstrapping, and clas
sification, topics that are usually relegated to follow-up courses.
The reader is presumed to know calculus and a little linear
algebra. No previous knowledge of probability and statistics is
required. Statistics, data mining, and machine learning are all
concerned with collecting and analyzing data. For some time,
statistics research was con ducted in statistics departments while
data mining and machine learning re search was conducted in
computer science departments. Statisticians thought that computer
scientists were reinventing the wheel. Computer scientists thought
that statistical theory didn't apply to their problems. Things are
changing. Statisticians now recognize that computer scientists are
making novel contributions while computer scientists now recognize
the generality of statistical theory and methodology. Clever data
mining algo rithms are more scalable than statisticians ever
thought possible. Formal sta tistical theory is more pervasive than
computer scientists had realized."
