Bivariate Continuous Random Variables

  Bivariate Continuous Random Variables Introduction A bivariate continuous random variable extends the concept of a single continuous random variable to two dimensions. It describes situations where two variables vary continuously and have some form of dependence or interaction. Understanding these concepts is fundamental in probability theory, statistics, and data science. Objectives Define bivariate continuous […]

Continuous Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) | Probability & Statistics

  Definition: Continuous CDF A continuous random variable can take an infinite number of values in a given range. The Probability Density Function (PDF) \( f(x) \) describes the likelihood of \( X \) falling within a small interval. The Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) is given by: \[ F(x) = P[X \leq x] = \int_{-\infty}^{x}

Differential Equations

Definition of Differential Equations A differential equation is an equation that involves one or more derivatives of an unknown function. Example: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 \] Types of Differential Equations Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs): \( \frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = x^2 \) Partial Differential Equations (PDEs): \( \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = 0

Discrete Random Variable and Probability Mass Function

  Discrete Random Variable and Probability Mass Function Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series A random variable is said to be discrete if it has either a finite or a countable number of values. Countable values are those which can be arranged in a sequence, corresponding to natural numbers. Example: Number of students present each

Random Variables and Probability Distributions

Random Variables and Probability Distributions Introduction to Random Variables In many experiments, we are interested in a numerical characteristic associated with outcomes of a random experiment. A random variable (RV) is a function that assigns a numerical value to each outcome of a random experiment. Example: Consider tossing a fair die twice and defining \(

Bayes’ Theorem and Examples | Data Science & AI

  Bayes’ Theorem and Examples Formula The formula for Bayes’ Theorem is given by: $$ P(E_i | A) = \frac{P(E_i) P(A | E_i)}{\sum_{j=1}^{n} P(E_j) P(A | E_j)} $$ Key Terminology \(E_i\) are hypotheses or possible causes. \(P(E_i)\) is the prior probability of \(E_i\). \(P(E_i | A)\) is the posterior probability of \(E_i\). The denominator ensures
