§ Sampling Theory Reading List
- I realized that the branch of statistics I need is 'sampling theory', which explains how to estimate parameters from populations by means of polling / sampling, exactly what we do with our experiments. The following books seems super pertinent:
- Statistical Rethinking: Bayesian viewpoint.
- "Sampling: Design and Analysis" by Sharon L. Lohr. Is in-depth, and has nice examples. Not particularly rigorous.
- "Sampling Techniques 3rd edition - William G. Cochran": Classic, rigorous, dry.
§ Books on Explicit Benchmarking
- The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis: Techniques for Experimental Design, Measurement, Simulation, and Modeling
- Understanding Software Dynamics
§ Cambridge Course
