Over the years I’ve taught statistics to hundreds of people, and every one of them had 2 things in common:

  • they all said they didn’t understand statistics
  • they all had the light-bulb moment when they suddenly ‘got it’

But from time to time one of them would say ‘yeah, but that’s only one small part of stats – how does it fit into the bigger picture?’.

I wanted to point them to some resource and say ‘here you go, here it is, the bigger picture – this is how it all fits together’, but I never found such a resource.

So I decided that I was going to create it – and this exclusive course is the result!

It took me months, but I’ve researched all the little nooks and crannies of the statistics universe and I’ve created a mind map of what stats looks like when you pull it all together.

And it’s an absolute beauty!

You want to know where cluster analysis fits into the general scheme of things? What about random forests and artificial neural networks?

Do you know how time series analysis fits in? What about bootstrapping or Bayesian belief networks?

They’re all in here, and more, all in their correct place.

And there’s only one place in the universe that you can get this course – right here!
