There’s a lot of great material to learn statistics on the Internet. I have several resources on a github repo:

I did a little write-up on my blog:

Thank you ~!

[P.S.A] This might not matter a lot, but just incase: The PDF link on this website links to a 2017 version (vs 2011 version on the parent thread).


A lot of these "formulas" become way easier to understand once you've derived them yourself (a few times), just as a heads up. Memorizing mathematics, if you care about taking it seriously for the long term, should be done at a minimum.


For sure, but a cheat sheet can still be useful. For example, the I find matrix cookbook very useful when I don't feel like rederiving derivatives of nontrivial linear algebra expressions.


And where was this 10 days ago in time for my probability exam, may I ask???


A google away, with the term being "probability cheatsheet". There are cheatsheets out there for many subjects.
