Additional Statements From The Probability Theory

chevron

Now we will understand some fundamental theoretical concepts which are used in solving real live tasks: absolutely continuous and discrete random variables, probability density function, cumulative distribution function, the characteristics of a random variable, etc.

Absolutely Continuous and Discrete Random Variables

Cumulative Distribution Functions and Probability Density Functions

Characteristics of Random Variables

Random Vectors

Useful Properties of the Gaussian Distribution

Challenge: Detecting Outliers Using 3-Sigma Rule

The Limit Theorems of Probability Theory

chevron

The limit theorems of probability theory are fundamental laws of probability theory that are often used in practice in a wide variety of areas, such as: building confidence intervals, estimating distribution parameters, providing A/B testings, creating ensembles of ML models, etc. Now we will consider two of the most commonly used: the Law of Large Numbers and the Central Limit Theorem.

Law of Large Numbers

Law of Large Numbers for Bernoulli Process

Challenge: Estimate Mean Value Using Law of Large Numbers

Central Limit Theorem

Challenge: Application of the CLT to Solving Real Problem

Estimation of Population Parameters

chevron

When we work with real data we usually do not know from which distribution this data was obtained. In order to determine this, we must be able to correctly estimate the parameters of this distribution and the type of distribution, which we will learn to do in this section.

General population. Samples. Population parameters.

Momentum estimation. Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Challenge: Estimate Parameters of Chi-square Distribution

Unbiased estimation

Challenge: Checking Bias of An Estimation Using Simulation

Consistent Estimation

Efficient estimation

Confidence Intervals for Population Parameters

Challenge: Confidence Interval for Exponential Distribution Parameter

Testing of Statistical Hypotheses

chevron

We have already learned how to estimate the parameters of the population. But to estimate the parameter, we make an assumption about the population distribution. Can we say that our assumption is correct? How do we prove that the estimated parameters are the real parameters of the population? Can we show that two sets of samples are independent? To answer these questions, it is necessary to consider the concept of hypothesis testing.
