Quand les limites de contrôle ne sont pas dépassées, ça ne sert à rien de perdre son temps à prendre des actions. Wow. Je suis quelqu’un d’intuitif et je ne comprends pas encore toute la portée de cet outil de mesure, mais j’entrevois des possibilités vraiment intéressantes. [...] [...]

Taking a Statistics 101 or 201 course at your local university might just do the trick.

This might seem odd but one of the best books I have read on Statistics is this one:

Cartoon Guide to Statistics by Larry Gonick, Woollcott Smith

Simple and effective.

Not necessarily just about statistics but this is an awesome book if you want to be a great analyst:

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Hope this helps a bit.

Avinash.

My two roadblocks thus far are JavaScript and statistics (KPI's? check. Segmentation? double check.)I am wondering if you could recommend any good entry-level books that could help teach me to do statistical analysis? Anything that uses web analytics scenarios is a *huge* plus.Thanks! I am on my way to becoming an analysis ninja. My two roadblocks thus far are JavaScript and statistics (KPI's? check.
