You start off with solving the probability of seeing a UFO to then analyzing a burglary at home! The examples are fantastic and the chapters are just short enough that they keep you engaged throughout. The exercises at the end are very helpful too! I've been enjoying my time learning about Bayesian Statistics Review: A well constructed intro to Bayesian statistics - Recently I've gotten more interested into how A/B testing works. As a person who hasn't taking statistics in more than 10 years, I decided to find an approachable book that wouldn't leave me flustered. This book did just the trick. This entire book can be read within a few hours. It doesn't skimp on the mathematics but explains a lot of it via intuition. The example problems it uses are sure to keep your interest. They are original and not the least bit boring. At the end of each chapter you get to practice your skills by writing a few, albeit simple, R programs to test your knowledge. There was only one part of this book that made me go "I wish he would've explained this a bit more" which is the equation for the beta distribution. He seems to gloss over it's construction but covers how to use it, which isn't too bad since R will do the leg work for you. After reading this book I walked away with an understanding of how A/B testing software works such as launch darkly. I also have started to crack open my probability and statistics book from when I was in college and it felt much less dauting this time around. If you want to learn about parameter estimation, hypothesis testing the Bayesian way, you can't find a better intro than this one. Nostarch is constantly producing hits and this one is no exception. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #131,214 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Data Mining (Books) #39 in Probability & Statistics (Books) #1,525 in Education Workbooks (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (620) | | Dimensions | 7.01 x 0.63 x 9.17 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1593279566 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1593279561 | | Item Weight | 1.18 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | July 9, 2019 | | Publisher | No Starch Press | ## Images ![Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability with Star Wars, LEGO, and Rubber Ducks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ctzMdFAiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend this book if you truly want to learn stats the fun way! *by R***N on March 29, 2025* It explains all the concepts using very simple, funny and engaging examples!

Well thought-out and they resonate with me. The legos piece for conditional probability was good, but a really great example of a problem is Han going through the asteroid field. A lot of us math people have seen Star Wars and we get this easily. I only wish more care was given to the problem set. I've seen the language is kind of muddy in some of the problems, and an earlier error, but I'm in chapter 16 solving problem 2 and the author not only mistakes the solution by using a wrong probability, but even in the solution writes full paragraphs of explanation that incorporate this incorrect result (i.e. not a simple math mistake). The actual answer is closer to 7.5 than 1.53, because you're using 0.83 (Schwan) and not 0.63 (earwax imp.) in calculating your P(D|H2). Anyway, great book, but if you are careful you will spot errors. Don't let that fool you though into thinking this book is a waste of time. It's a really good book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability with Star Wars, LEGO, and Rubber Ducks - Option Volatility and Pricing: Advanced Trading Strategies and Techniques, 2nd Edition - Option Market Making: Trading and Risk Analysis for the Financial and Commodity Option Markets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/147441500-bayesian-statistics-the-fun-way-understanding-statistics-and-probability-star](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/147441500-bayesian-statistics-the-fun-way-understanding-statistics-and-probability-star) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
