Forgive me for a rather general question, but still: How to master statistics?
What books would you recommend to start with? (my background is normal knowledge of mathematical analysis and some idea of theoretical faith, graduated from St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, automation).
On what tasks can you "fill your hand"?
The question arose due to the fact that there is not enough knowledge to master machine learning and conduct an accounting audit. reporting.

You can start at least with "Abstract of lectures on the theory of probability and mathematical statistics" Written by D.T.
I just looked, it turns out there are even lecture courses on youtube.

Machine learning is a field for mathematicians. If we talk about understanding the subject, you need to at least understand the basics of probability theory and analysis using a classic textbook, you can find them on mathematical forums and in search engines with the request "good / best textbook on probability theory / m. analysis", in the same place you can read what you need to start learning the material.
Specifically, there are three centers known to me with practice-oriented data analysis programs on the organization's websites there are lists of literature for admission to the "data analysis" program, i. everything you need to know to get started, as well as literature specifically on the subject. Yes, it will be a lot and difficult, but you yourself wanted it.
