Python: Chi-Squared, Student's t, and F Distributions

Wrapped up derivations of the chi-squared, t-, and F-distributions — and honestly it's just reminded me how shaky my stats fundamentals still are lol.

Alright, all done! heh heh heh

Derivation of the Chi-Squared Distribution (Basic Statistics I Studied #5)

Derivation of the Student’s t-Distribution (Basic Statistics I Studied #6)

Derivation of the F-Distribution (Basic Statistics I Studied #7)

But — even going through it all again, I keep getting this feeling that I’m just really, really weak at stats…..

Maybe I should go back to square one and dig into probability theory properly…

For probability theory, people recommend Sheldon Ross.

For mathematical statistics, they say Hogg —

are there any other bible-tier books out there?????? Anyone?

For now I’ve tossed them in the shopping cart, but….

In October my weekday evenings are booked with a machine learning course after work, and weekends I’m in a pandas course……lol lol lol lol

And then there’s like right now — Saturday, parked in a café grinding through the accounting principles course…… (which I still haven’t finished… seriously…. (T_T))

In between all that I’m doing some coding for fun lol lol lol lol lol, I really wanna try some FDM in Python… heh.heh

Why is a day only 24 hours………?

Then again, if a day were 36 hours I’d probably have already worked myself to death, right?
