Taken literally the title All of Statistics is an exaggeration. But in spirit the title is
apt as the book does cover a much broader range of topics than a typical introductory book on
mathematical statistics. This book is for people who want to learn probability and statistics
quickly. It is suitable for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in computer science
mathematics statistics and related disciplines. The book includes modern topics like
non-parametric curve estimation bootstrapping and classification topics that are usually
relegated to follow-up courses. The reader is presumed to know calculus and a little linear
algebra. No previous knowledge of probability and statistics is required. Statistics data
mining and machine learning are all concerned with collecting and analysing data.
