Books like Statistical methods by George Waddel Snedecor

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 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.

Advances in computers and biotechnology have had an immense impact on the biomedical fields, with broad consequences for humanity. Correspondingly, new areas of probability and statistics are being developed specifically to meet the needs of this area. There is now a necessity for a text that introduces probability and statistics in the bioinformatics context. This book also describes some of the main statistical applications in the field, including BLAST, gene finding, and evolutionary inference, much of which has not yet been summarized in an introductory textbook format. This book grew out of the bioinformatics courses given at the University of Pennsylvania. The material is, however, organized to appeal to biologists or computer scientists who wish to know more about the statistical methods of the field, as well as to trained statisticians who wish to become involved in bioinformatics. The earlier chapters introduce the concepts of probability and statistics at an elementary level. Later chapters should be immediately accessible to the trained statistician. Sufficient mathematics background consists of courses in calculus and linear algebra. The basic biological concepts that are used are explained, or can be understood from the context.

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.

A comprehensive reference dictionary covering terminology, concepts, and methods in statistics, used by scholars in the social sciences.

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.
