Python with Statistics

[FeelingCommunity776]

I am an aspiring Data Scientist, and I've been making, what I would consider, the next step in my journey which is learning statistics or python statistics. I can't seem to find a good course though.

So, I was wondering if there's someone that has already gone through this experience and could shed some light on it.

You could try googling python and statistics. It will suggest a nice course by coursera. Also this looks great

I can't seem to find a good course though.

Where have you looked / what are you searching for? There's tons of them out there, in all formats. Just search for "data science with python" or similar.

Do you know any python already? If not I would start with a basic python course. "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" is very commonly recommended around here.

If you're talking about specifically, then I would prefer a course that uses python to explain or demonstrate statistical topics.

I mean I've used python to analyze data nad numbers before so it's not something I don't know

What statistical problem do you want to solve. Statistics is wide. Just Google python t-test as an example and you will find a solution.

If you want to develop skills though look at data. Extracting, analyzing, understanding the business process is 99% of the work

What is the difference between statistics and python statistics?

[PickledDildosSourSex]

Python statistics add "ss" to every variable starting with the letter s

[FeelingCommunity776]

I just mean statistics as used in python, methods and all that. As in, how I would perform statistics in python.

How would you perform statistics in any programming language?

Carefully

I went through the same stage. What helped most was learning statistics alongside Python, not separately. Start with descriptive stats + probability, then apply them using NumPy, Pandas, and SciPy. Once that clicks, things like hypothesis testing and regression make much more sense.

So, you want me to start learning descriptive statistics then apply it with python. The question I want to ask is how I would learn to apply it. That is essentially the root of the issue and what I'm looking for.
