The astute person might note that the U-shaped quadratic relationship was not captured here, which is primarily due to a limit in the auto.arima function, which only allows a single xreg variable, rather than both the linear and quadratic predictors.</image:caption>

In both examples, the prior probability distribution (top) favors a biased coin that winds up head 75% of the time (mode = 0.75).  Initially (middle, left), after only 5 flips (2 heads), the posterior distribution (bottom) remains with a mode of 0.69 since it heavily favors the prior.  However, after 500 flips (200 heads, middle, right), the posterior distribution favors tails with a mode of 0.415 for heads.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Background references</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book was by far the best high-level explanation of both statistics and epidemiology.  I still use references from it for teaching (particularly the explanation of confounding).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Background references</image:title>
      <image:caption>This textbook provided a very comprehensive understanding of longitudinal analysis.  The lecture slides from the website are a nice compliment, as was code from the UCLA statistics website, which is from a different textbook, but useful nonetheless.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Background references</image:title>

      <image:title>Background references</image:title>
      <image:caption>This textbook is a very comprehensive, and somewhat technical, description of the various methods of time series analysis.  Would also suggest this excellent online resource as a supplement.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Background references</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most of the Statistical code we'll be posting will be in the stats package R, which can be obtained here.  R is open source, and very accessible for writing scripts and sharing code, which makes it ideal for an open/sharing platform.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Background references</image:title>
      <image:caption>Stata is also a very excellent, and user-friendly statistical package that I use for much of my 'bread-and-butter' statistics work.  It has drop-down menus, wonderful supportive documentation, and is a great way to get started with statistical analysis for those who don't have experience with coding.  This textbook was useful for me getting started, but there are others available through the Stata website.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Background references</image:title>
      <image:caption>This textbook was a tremendous resource for someone who had never done anything computationally prior.  You will be amazed how useful some of the tricks (especially the regular expressions stuff), even if you don't work in a computational biology area.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I used several textbooks from the Big Nerd Ranch, including programming in Swift and iOS design.  An excellent resource, easy to follow, and you get to design some cool apps along the way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Machine Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>This very manageable textbook is a perfect starting point for anyone interested in learning about machine learning.  In addition to a very nice overview of many methods of 'shallow' learning, it also includes R code to run the models yourself.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Machine Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>This somewhat larger and more technical textbook is the more advanced version of Introduction to Statistical Learning, by the same authors.  It does not include code references, and remains at the 'shallow' machine learning level, but nonetheless provides a very nice comprehensive overview of these approaches.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Machine Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>Although I'm not sure HMM's are technically considered 'machine learning', I would strongly recommend this book, which I've mentioned in prior posts, if you plan to delve into deep learning approaches with recurrent neural networks or reinforcement learning</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>

      <image:title>Machine Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before you dive into any online sources, blogs, or other textbooks, I'd highly recommend starting with this very basic, but understandable textbook.  Not only does it provide an outstanding introduction to concepts like stochastic gradient descent, but it also teaches you to use to use Jupyter notebook and Python in a step-by-step manner.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Machine Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>Neural Networks and Deep Learning. This online textbook is definitely one of the best places to start for understanding deep learning, and a free resource at that.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Machine Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>Outstanding resource for using sklearn for 'shallow' learning approaches with code to run in Python.  The description of deep learning is outstanding, although much of the code did not work for me and eventually I resorted to using Keras to run the models with Tensorflow.</image:caption>
