This text misses two very important sub-areas of statistical learning, so much so that I can&#x27;t believe they gave their textbook such a broad name (&quot;statistical learning&quot;, more like a subset of it. The whole book doesn&#x27;t have a single mention of the word &quot;markov&quot;. Seriously disappointed.).<p>- Graphical models<p>- Probabilistic logic, probabilistic programming, bayesian data analysis, etc, etc.<p>Can anyone point to good introductory texts?<p>I know for the first, Koller&#x27;s text is highly recommmended but I&#x27;m not sure if it&#x27;s at the introductory level.
