In data science, statistical methods are useful for better understanding your data’s significance, for validating hypotheses, for simulating scenarios, and for making predictive forecasts of future events. Advanced statistical skills are somewhat rare, even among quantitative analysts, engineers, and scientists.

These methods are covered in Chapter 4.
