Overview and objectives

In this course we'll focus on probability theory and move towards how to tackle different types of probability questions.

Audience

The pre-requisites for this course involve basic understanding of probability and statistics. Some concepts may be difficult without a college level understanding of math.

Courses

Courses in this learning path are:

Basic Probability

Basic Probability

Probability Theory is the branch of mathematics that deals with uncertainty, underpinning all of statistics and machine learning.

4 of 10 Completed

Discrete Distributions

Discrete Distributions

All areas of study in math can roughly be divided into two camps: discrete mathematics and continuous mathematics. Perhaps the best way to describe the difference between the two is to talk about what each of the branches means by "number."

3 of 12 Completed

Continuous Distributions

Continuous Distributions

Continuous probability distribution: A probability distribution in which the random variable X can take on any value (is continuous).

3 of 6 Completed

Multivariate Distributions

Multivariate Distributions

Multivariate distributions show comparisons between two or more measurements and the relationships among them. For each univariate distribution with one random variable, there is a more general multivariate distribution.

Sampling Theorems

Sampling Theorems

Thus far in this course, we have considered random variables under an idealized scenario where we know the distribution of the random variable.
