I'm not a data scientist or statistician but have had to study and apply statistical thinking and methods in four academic programs and, occasionally, during my IT career. Over all, I have 6 undergrad and 17 graduate hours of statistics and probability courses--enough to have been a masters degree if they'd been in one program. Despite that, numerate thinking is not natural to me and I have to look up which methods and tests are relevant for each data-related situation, how to apply them, and what their results mean. Having a well-organized, comprehensive, exhaustively tagged (by me) reference saved me untold hours in both academic and applied settings. I doubt I will need it now, in my post-IT life, but this book has become my statistical go-to resource so I will hang onto it. If nothing more, it will make an excellent doorstop, paperweight, or--in a pinch--blunt-force weapon.
