Python for Probability, Statistics, and Machine Learning by José Unpingco

By José Unpingco

This booklet covers the main principles that hyperlink chance, records, and computing device studying illustrated utilizing Python modules in those components. the total textual content, together with the entire figures and numerical effects, is reproducible utilizing the Python codes and their linked Jupyter/IPython notebooks, that are supplied as supplementary downloads. the writer develops key intuitions in computer studying via operating significant examples utilizing a number of analytical equipment and Python codes, thereby connecting theoretical strategies to concrete implementations. smooth Python modules like Pandas, Sympy, and Scikit-learn are utilized to simulate and visualize vital computing device studying options just like the bias/variance trade-off, cross-validation, and regularization. Many summary mathematical principles, reminiscent of convergence in chance idea, are built and illustrated with numerical examples. This e-book is acceptable for someone with an undergraduate-level publicity to chance, facts, or laptop studying and with rudimentary wisdom of Python programming.

The Z n variables are dependent because they stack the same telescoping set of X i variables. 1 Introduction 49 where the factorization comes from the independence of the X i variables. Using the definition of conditional probability, P(Z 1 = i|Z 2 ) = P(Z 1 = i, Z 2 = k) P(Z 2 = k) We can continue to expand Eq. 5, P(X 3 = j − k)P(Z 2 = k) P(Z 2 = k) = P(Z 1 = i|Z 2 )P(Z 3 = j|Z 2 ) P(Z 1 = i, Z 3 = j|Z 2 = k) = P(Z 1 = i|Z 2 ) where P(X 3 = j − k)P(Z 2 = k) = P(Z 3 = j, Z 2 ). Thus, we see that dependence between random variables can be broken by conditioning to create conditionally independent random variables.

12} → [0, 1] Note there is a separation between the function definition and where the target items of the function are measured in probability. More bluntly, Y: A → B with, PY : B → [0, 1] Thus, to compute PY , which is derived from other random variables, we have to express the equivalence classes in B in terms of their progenitor A sets. The situation for continuous variables follows the same pattern, but with many more deep technicalities that we are going to skip. For the continuous case, the random variable is now, X: R → R with corresponding probability measure, P X : R → [0, 1] But where are the corresponding sets here?
