Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists: With R and Python: By Alan Agresti and Maria Kateri, 2022, Boca Raton, Florida: CRC Press. xvii + 467 pages, price: $99.95 USD, ISBN: 978-0-367-74845-6.

"Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists: With R and Python" by Alan Agresti and Maria Kateri is a timely and important book that caters to the expanding field of data science. While statisticians typically take a traditional two-semester sequence of courses, the authors argue that data science students should have a more broad and less in-depth statistical training. The book covers topics such as probability distributions, sampling distributions, statistical inference, linear models, classification, and clustering. It also includes appendices on using R and Python in statistical science, as well as solutions to exercises. The book is well-written, with clear explanations and up-to-date examples, making it suitable for classroom use. However, it may lack the depth required for graduate-level study in statistics. Overall, this book fills an important void in the field of statistical science and is a valuable resource for data science students. [Extracted from the article]
