Books like Introduction to the theory of statistics by Alexander McFarlane Mood

The Elements of Statistical Learning explains key statistical methods that underlie modern machine learning, data mining, and bioinformatics, covering supervised and unsupervised learning techniques such as classification trees, neural networks, and support vector machines.

A concise study guide for the standard college statistics course, featuring 486 fully worked problems and 660 additional practice questions to reinforce concepts and improve test performance.

A practical guide to Bayesian statistical analysis that prioritizes computation, model checking, and data‑collection design, with examples spanning regression, hierarchical, robust, generalized linear, and mixture models.

An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides an accessible overview of the field of statistical learning, an essential toolset for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged in fields ranging from biology to finance to marketing to astrophysics in the past twenty years. This book presents some of the most important modeling and prediction techniques, along with relevant applications. Topics include linear regression, classification, resampling methods, shrinkage approaches, tree-based methods, support vector machines, clustering, and more. Color graphics and real-world examples are used to illustrate the methods presented. Since the goal of this textbook is to facilitate the use of these statistical learning techniques by practitioners in science, industry, and other fields, each chapter contains a tutorial on implementing the analyses and methods presented in R, an extremely popular open source statistical software platform. Two of the authors co-wrote The Elements of Statistical Learning (Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman, 2nd edition 2009), a popular reference book for statistics and machine learning researchers. An Introduction to Statistical Learning covers many of the same topics, but at a level accessible to a much broader audience. This book is targeted at statisticians and non-statisticians alike who wish to use cutting-edge statistical learning techniques to analyze their data. The text assumes only a previous course in linear regression and no knowledge of matrix algebra.

An Introduction to Statistical Learning offers a practitioner‑friendly guide to modern statistical learning methods, including linear regression, classification, resampling, shrinkage, tree‑based models, SVMs, and clustering, with R tutorials and real‑world examples.

Revised edition of DeGroot’s classic, blending classical and Bayesian statistics with new chapters on simulation—MCMC and Bootstrap—and enhanced residual analysis for linear models, all illustrated with real‑world data.

"Statistics: An Introduction using R is a clear and concise introductory textbook to statistical analysis using this powerful and free software, and follows on from the success of the author's previous best-selling title Computational Statistics. Statistics: An Introduction using R is the first text to offer such a concise introduction to a broad array of statistical methods, at a level that is elementary enough to appeal to a broad range of disciplines. It is primarily aimed at undergraduate students in medicine, engineering, economics and biology - but will also appeal to postgraduates who have not previously covered this area, or wish to switch to using R." --Book jacket.
