Bda is more advanced version of this book. Stats rethinking is also good and one can start from scratch as it has more code and less maths.
Studying CS a while ago, we had a very practical statistics and now I'm struggling to understand more theoretical proof-based papers like this one. Is there a good statistics/probability book out there to brush up on my statistics and understand papers like this better?
Have you checked out Head First Statistics by O'Reilly?
Try "Computer Age Statistical Inference" by Efron and Hastie.https://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/CASI_files/PDF/casi.pdf
Statistics is statistics -- just get a good introductory statistics textbook. MIT's OpenCourseWare is probably a good start, maybe this: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-443Fall2003/CourseH...
Is there a canonical statistics textbook to recommend to the professional scientist?
Try "The Elements of Statistical Learning" by Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman. Lots of math but an outstanding introduction.
I highly recommend The Art of Statistics.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43722897-the-art-of-stat...
What is a book / course on statistics that I can go through before this so that I can understand this?
