Hi Britta,

I haven't read anything Python specific, but I like the following books:

For basic introductory stats, Freedman, Pisani, and Purves
<https://wwnorton.com/books/Statistics/>

As a follow up, Freedman's Statistical Models: Theory and Practice
<https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/statistical-models/68F8872C7788AF62BD6513F7071EE1BA#fndtn-information>,
teaches one to think critically about regression modeling and its
limitations.

Efron and Hasties Computer Age Statistical Inference
<https://hastie.su.domains/CASI_files/PDF/casi.pdf>, for a very broad
overview of a wide range of computational statistics topics.

Hastie, Tibshirani, and Friedman's Elements of Statistical Learning
<https://hastie.su.domains/Papers/ESLII.pdf>, classic introduction to
statistical machine learning.

Gelman et al's Bayesian Data Analysis
<http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/book/BDA3.pdf> for Bayesian modeling,
but I haven't read any other books on this topic.

I tend to just read the relevant documentation (pymc, pyro, pytorch,
scikit-learn, scipy, statsmodels) to figure out how to do things in Python.
Hopefully someone else can chime in with more Python specific books.

Best,
Albert
