Marco De Cesaris – expertise

Word Cloud of Marco De Cesaris expertise

When somebody (including my colleagues) ask me what my job is about, I always get in troubles trying to explain what I exactly do.

Thought this word cloud visualization of my expertise should be pretty straight forward and give an idea (at glance) of my expertise and what I do :)

Will see if it works :)

The cartoon guide to Statistics


Cover of the book: the cartoon guide to statistics

This is one of the best and funniest book I have ever read! :) It explains in such an easy way very complex things! A perfect book that teaches you while making you laugh :)

Generally reading a book for me it takes ages, but i finished this one during a flight London-Milan (return flight… yes) :)

Saying that it is funny it is not enough!

Learning statistics through this book will be like eating nutella (ps I love nutella) ;) Of course, it will be a basic course, but honestly speaking, if you already have a basic understanding, you will enjoy this book very much.

Here is just page number 1 :) Have a laugh :) (Click on the image below to enlarge).

What is statistics

219 pages of wonderful entertainment. Actually it is not a book.. it is more like a show! :)

The different stories are so live, so cool… so funny!

It covers from what is statistics, to probability, random variables, sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression.

Honestly a very well thought and written book. Thank to the genius of Larry Gonick and Woollcott Smith.

Highly recommended!

Last Year (2008), during a party in London, I met two wonderful guys (friends of friends) who would have soon become very good friends of mine :)

All started between few glasses of lovely red wine. I was introduced to these two great Japanese guys by my Italian friend.
