Abstract
to inspire thinking beyond statistical models and techniques as mere tools to analyze data, but instead utilizing them to make inference about the underlying physics of the generative process. In conclusion, Statistical Rethinking frames usual methods and tools taught in graduate statistical courses into a different way to encourage the reader to understand the details and appreciate the underlying assumptions. The accompanying R package offers example codes for some interesting problems that are not available in standard library or other popular packages. This book can be used as a supplement to a graduate course or it can be used by practitioners wanting to brush up their knowledge with better understanding of statistical techniques.
