About statistical modeling

  • great courses:
    • "Advanced Data Analysis from an Elementary Point of View" by Cosma Shalizi (free book)
    • "A First Course in Bayesian Statistical Methods" by Peter Hoff (book)
    • "Bayesian Data Analysis" by Andrew Gelman (free slides, book)
    • "Mixed effects models for the population approach" by Marc Lavielle and the POPIX team at INRIA (free wiki)
  • mathematical aspects:
    • "Introduction to Linear Algebra" by Gilbert Strang (free videos, book)
    • "Matrix Differential Calculus with Applications in Statistics and Econometrics" by Magnus and Neudecker (free pdf, book)
  • practical, computational aspects:

    • "Exploratory Data Analysis with R" by Jennifer Bryan (free course)
    • "Tutorial on Big Data with Python" by Marcel Caraciolo (free Python notebooks)
    • interpreted languages: obviously R, but more and more Python (SciPy for NumPy, IPython, Matplotlib, and pandas, but also scikit-learn and statsmodels), as well as others (Julia?)
    • C/C++: GSL, Armadillo, Eigen, Rcpp, Stan
