I have an atrocious professor for statistics and I was hoping I could become some recommendations for a adept place to learn stats.

That all depends. If y'all're the blazon to acquire on your own, all you demand is a good stats volume. If non, and you have the coin, perhaps a tutor would be better to go over the course material and accept it "retaught" in a way you lot can understand. Otherwise, in that location is quite a fleck of choice online, just information technology really is difficult to option betwixt the variety of media (from online courses to YouTube videos, etc.).

level 2

What's the best full general stats book?

level 1

There are some pretty good MOOCs out there, where y'all can either watch their lectures or bang your head against the exercises. I like the MOOC homework format because y'all usually get instant feedback

level 1

I had the same problem and constitute that for learning statistics, a skillful book is all you demand. What are you studying? For psychology and other life and social sciences, I tin recommend 'Discovering statistics using R' past Field (very entertaining, not too technical) and 'Statistical methods for psychology' by Howell (more technical, still quite entertaining).

level 1

Probability Theory: Logic of Science is by many considered the statistics textbooks of all time. Although I think, All of Statistics: the conscise grade in staristical inference by Wasserman is very good specially if y'all are trying to get into statistics from a Motorcar Learning perspective.

level 1

That'due south a little broad. What things are your trying to learn? What kind of learning are you looking for?

level one

What kind of stats? Statistics in the media? Statistical fallacies? Probability? Statistics 101? I'll have very different recommendations depending on what you're looking for.

I would also recommend MOOCs. Endeavour some courses from coursera.org or edx.org. There are dozens of statistics courses at that place, just discover the one that volition meet your level and expectations.
