I do not know what field you are interested in, but I would recommend "Probability Theory and Statistical Inference: Econometric Modeling with Observational Data", by Aris Spanos. It's quite a book for self-study. I added the Editorial Review from the book:
This major new textbook is intended for students taking introductory courses in probability theory and statistical inference. The primary objective of this book is to establish the framework for the empirical modeling of observational (nonexperimental) data. The text is extremely student friendly, with pathways designed for semester usage, and although aimed primarily at students at second-year undergraduate level and above studying econometrics and economics, Probability Theory and Statistical Inference will also be useful for students in other disciplines that make extensive use of observational data, including finance, biology, sociology and psychology.
