Suggestions for Chapter 3
Chapter 3
The intro to probability is very clear, congrats!
-
[ ] In the introduction, it can also refer to independent events and conditional probability as well as to frequentist and bayesian approaches in order to allow focus definitions & explanation later and link them with the summary as a quick review.
-
[ ] When writing about ‘randomly distributed’ events, it may be referred to: -- uniform distribution (paying attention or saying that no replication is assumed or needed here, distinguishing from the frequentist approach) and -- independents events in order to define key conditions that will be brought later.
-
[ ] Replace: hands inside the box and take two balls at random, at the same time and write down their colours. By: hands inside the box, without looking inside, and take two balls at random, at the same time, look at them and write down their colours.
-
[ ] Replace: about the orden in which the balls are taken out, saying “Red and Green” is equal to “Green and Red.” By: about the order in which the balls are taken out, saying “Red and Green” is equal to “Green and Red.”
-
[ ] In section 3.2.1, it may be clarified that working with exclusive and not related events, therefore, there is no chance to consider joint occurrences.
-
[ ] Change index number: Section 3.2 By: Subsection 3.1.1
-
[ ] Change index number: Subsection 3.2.1 By: Subsection 3.1.2
-
[ ] Update Sections’ indexing
-
[ ] In section 3.4, define what you understand by a truncated space of possibilities and which is the link with joint distribution and conditional probability.
-
[ ] Some explanation about charts reading or interpretation is needed, at least, until the reader gains some intuition about what you are presenting.
-
[ ] Replace section name: Histograms By: Histograms, bins and intervals
-
[ ] Regarding the casino's example (3.8), it is needed to introduce extra figures and explanations in order to allow readers to follow the example and what you are seeing when explaining.
-
[ ] Pay attention to selecting only singular or plural voices: I? we?
-
[ ] Pay attention to managing abbreviations (don’t, isn’t, I’m), in general, book writing uses complete expressions.
-
[ ] Try to standardize Math and conjunct notations, within the chapter. Also across the book.
-
[ ] Some images may be re-done or improved. Ii is recommended adding numbers, titles and/or references for all. It may be useful to identify if the final version of the book is going to be printed with colours and/or how many, in order to find a common way for examples and explanation between digital and physical versions. It may help to find its own style.
