What is it?

ThinkStats is the companion repository for the third edition of Think Stats, an introductory statistics book that teaches probability and statistics through hands-on Python code. It holds the notebooks, the data files the book uses, and additional examples and figures.

The notebooks come in two versions: one without solutions for students working through exercises, and one with solutions that serve as the source files. The book is also published online as an HTML version built with Jupyter Book, so readers can browse and run the notebooks in a browser. Zip archives of both notebook sets are available for download without cloning the repository.

The repository also includes a tutorial on time series analysis and a Makefile and requirements files for setting up a Conda environment to run the material.
