Online Course: Data Analytics and Inference Statistics

Very nice course for statistics introduction, Dr. Mine Centinkaya gives very easy-to-understand and concise explanations for many basic concepts such as probability tree, bayes rule, CLT, confidence interval, hypothesis testing, chi square independence and GOF testing, distributions such as t distribution (used for when CLT does not hold for small samples), f statistics and ANOVA. The course is still continuing but i could not wait for the availability of the videos for the last two weeks and ends up reading the companion book "OpenIntro Statistics" (the last two chapters more on linear/logistic regression as well as related statistics such as predictor correlation, predictor coefficient confidence interval, R^2, residuals as useful tools such as backward elimination and forward model selection using p-value and R^2)
