Help Needed: Statistics Textbook Recommendation"

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks recommendations for a statistics textbook suitable for refreshing knowledge after taking graduate-level statistics classes focused on clinical psychology. The discussion acknowledges that statistics is a broad field with applications across various disciplines. While specific recommendations for clinical psychology-related statistics are not provided, a general introductory textbook is suggested as a viable option for a comprehensive review. The emphasis is on finding accessible resources that can help in brushing up on statistical concepts.

Hello all,

My wife wants to brush up on her Statistics. She took 2 or 3 graduate level Stats classes geared toward Clinical Psychologists about 6 years ago. She no longer has her textbook and cannot remember (or won't remember) it's name. So if anyone has a good Stat. Textbook for her to brush up on things I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.

Statistics is a really wide area of mathematics with applications with probably every known field you could get in college and life. Considering that it was graduate statistics, it must've been specific to a certain field, namely clinical psychology I suppose. I would have no idea what types of statistics would be needed in this case unfortunately T_T. I guess I'll help bump instead ^^

A general introduction book would be fine I think. She is just looking to refresh herself with Statistics in general.

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
