⚠️ SO YOU WANT TO BE A BAYESIAN⚠️ :

(since I compiled a quick list of Bayesian resources today, I figured I should share; these are just my opinion!)
📚 Beginner book (R): Bayesian Statistics the fun way —amazon.com/dp/B07J461Q2K/…

📚 Beginner-Intermediate book (R + JAGS + Stan): Doing Bayesian Data Analysis: amazon.com/Doing-Bayesian…
📚 Intermediate book (R + Stan) : Statistical Rethinking—
amazon.com/Statistical-Re…

📚 Intermediate/Advanced Book (R + Stan) : Bayesian Data Analysis (amazon.com/Bayesian-Analy…)
📚 Bayesian modeling for cogsci + psych (R + JAGS + BUGS): Bayesian Cognitive Modeling (bayesmodels.com)
💻 Software: I ❤️ brms and rstan in R (brms uses lm() syntax + you can use the command stancode() to get the Stan code from a brms model in order to learn Stan.)

Stan is good for models where you need direct control over everything).
💻 Tidybayes and bayesplot are helpful side packages too.

Wanna become a data scientist?

Alternatively:

Step 1: Think about becoming a lawyer but ditch that because you can’t stand foreign political history classes. Add a philosophy double major because sureee that’ll help🙄. Then switch to psychology, meet an awesome statistician and decide you love statistics
in your last semester of college.

Moving from psych to stats/DS is totally doable Depending on your training, there may be some gaps you need to fill, content-wise, but those gaps 1) aren't insurmountable + 2) will not automatically make you a bad data person just because you're working on filling them.

1/8
Doing good DS requires hard work/rigor but it’s not exclusive to “math” people. You can do it.

2/8
Personally, I had gaps in math + comp sci. I learned to code (Python, R, C++, SQL) and took/audited a bunch of probability, stats, and linear algebra classes. Those classes CERTAINLY helped me, but I could've learned the content w/o them it was just easier/more structured.
