Statistics From Scratch

I took a few Statistics classes as electives to finish my undergraduate degree (18 years later—another subject for another time). They were both using R, which I enjoyed learning because I already knew a little about Python and it was interesting to see how R differed from Python.

The classes were actually a lot of fun, and they sparked my interest in statistics as a field in general.

As a result, I decided to write this guide to help me codify my knowledge of the subject.
