Covariance

Covariance Made Simple: Unlocking the Secret of Relationships in Data

  Covariance Made Simple: Unlocking the Secret of Relationships in Data Welcome to Postnetwork Academy! In this post, Bindeshwar explains the concept of covariance, a fundamental tool in statistics and data science. Covariance helps us understand how two variables move together—whether they increase, decrease, or show no relationship at all. What You’ll Learn in This

Binomial Distribution

Understand Binomial Distribution

Before understanding Binomial distribution you have to understand Bernoulli trial. What is Bernoulli trial? A Bernoulli trial is a random experiment in which  there are two possible outcomes failure and success getting head when tossing a coin is success and getting tail is failure getting 4 is success when rolling a dice and failure when

Variance and Standard Deviation

Variance and Standard Deviation are both essential concepts in statistics and finance. Let’s explore the differences between them: Variance: Definition: Variance is a numerical value that describes the variability of observations from their arithmetic mean. Calculation: To find the variance, calculate the squared differences between each data point and the mean, then average these squared

Covariance and Correlation

Covariance and Correlation

Covariance and Correlation- Covariance and correlation both measure linear relationship between two variables.  However, they differ at some points. In this post I will explain covariance and correlation and how they differ from each other. Covariance between two variables is written as Cov(X,Y) and is defined as Calculation of Covariance If you look at the
