  • Confidence and Errors (Framework of Frequentist Hypothesis Testing)

    What’s there? I wanted to note down Type I and II errors, p-values and confidence intervals. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort of stuff). Errors Structure…

  • Information Theory

    What’s there? Basic principles of information theory – entropy, KL divergence. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort of stuff). Entropy Brain dump The Concept of Information…

  • Estimation Theory (The Principles of Statistical Parameter Estimation)

    What’s there? As an introduction to ML, I need to understand estimation theory – MLE, MAP and Bayesian Estimation. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort of…

  • Gamma Family of Distributions 

    What’s there? This one explores some more distributions – Gamma, Chi-Squared, and Student’s t-distributions. Why? Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort of stuff). Gamma It is…

  • Uniform, Exponential, Beta & Dirichlet

    What’s there? Covers these things – This should conclude stuff from continuous distributions that I wanted to talk about. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort of…

  • Advanced Methods for generating RVs

    What’s there? While the Inverse Transform Sampling method provides a theoretical foundation for random sampling, its practical applicability is limited to distributions with an invertible Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF). So, we have other stuff! Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I…

  • Generating and Combining RVs

    What’s there? An exposition (I love this word sm) into techniques of Inverse Transform Sampling and the algebra of random variables. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that…

  • A small introduction to Gaussian Processes

    What’s there? Started with some Probability and Statistics; doing Gaussians now. This post is to go deep into Gaussian Processes. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort…

  • Gaussians 1

    What’s there? Started with some Probability and Statistics; doing Gaussians now. This is an info dump. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort of stuff). Introduction Definition…

  • Fundamental Discrete Probability Distributions

    What’s there? Like Foundations of Probability, I wanted to cover some more basics before Gaussians really quickly. Why do I write this? I wanted to create an authoritative document I could refer to for later. Thought that I might as well make it public (build in public, serve society and that sort of stuff). Bernoulli…
