SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on recommendations for advanced books on statistics and probability following the completion of "Introduction to Probability and Statistics." Key suggestions include "An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications" by William Feller for in-depth probability study and "Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers" by Douglas C. Montgomery and George C. Runger for practical applications in engineering. Participants emphasize the importance of identifying specific areas of interest within statistics and probability to tailor future reading. Additionally, "Introduction to Probability and Statistics" by DeGroot is noted as a budget-friendly option.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic probability and statistics concepts
  • Familiarity with engineering applications of statistics

Hey There! I've finished reading The Introduction to Probability and Statistics book. Now I'm looking for another book as awesome as that was. Can anyone suggest me a book? Thanks in advance.

The books quickly get more specialized and more technical. If you want to go further in the subject, you may want to indicate what statistical / probability subjects you are interested in. If you really love that book, it may be more valuable to read through it again and make sure that you really understand it all. If you want to go further, you should at least tell us what aspects of that book and what level you are looking for in books for future studies. If you are very serious about studying probability in detail, a classic that I can recommend without reservation is the three-volume series "An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications" by Feller. I don't have a stand-out favorite for statistics, but there are many good ones on various subjects.

" Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers " , Douglas C. Montgomery , George C. Runger.

This book is good , I enjoyed it - it employs lots of figures, well written explanations and examples about technical/physical and engineering problems and it also applies techniques of probability and statistics to them ( for example : there are well-explained sections in this book talking how to characterize probabilistically a set of electric circuits ).
 
Not sure of you're math background.

I liked this book https://www.amazon.com/dp/1466575573/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Only goes through Probability theory.
Degroot : introduction to probability and statistics is ok book and cheap. Get an older edition or an Indian market version.

I would read the first book, and problems from Degroot.
