The key to interpreting a hierarchical cluster analysis is to look at the point at which any given pair of cards “join together” in the tree diagram. Cards that join together sooner are more similar to each other than those that join together later.
C8302
Description. The alternating least squares (ALS) algorithm factorizes a given matrix R into two factors U and V such that R≈UTV. Since matrix factorization can be used in the context of recommendation, the matrices U and V can be called user and item matrix, respectively.
C8303
One of the major disadvantages of the backpropagation learning rule is its ability to get stuck in local minima. The error is a function of all the weights in a multidimensional space.
C8304
T-tests are called t-tests because the test results are all based on t-values. T-values are an example of what statisticians call test statistics. A test statistic is a standardized value that is calculated from sample data during a hypothesis test.
C8305
This is in contrast to the Bernoulli, binomial, and hypergeometric distributions, where the number of possible values is finite. Whereas, in the geometric and negative binomial distributions, the number of "successes" is fixed, and we count the number of trials needed to obtain the desired number of "successes".

by Tim Bock. Hierarchical clustering, also known as hierarchical cluster analysis, is an algorithm that groups similar objects into groups called clusters. The endpoint is a set of clusters, where each cluster is distinct from each other cluster, and the objects within each cluster are broadly similar to each other.
C8307
Sampling helps a lot in research. It is one of the most important factors which determines the accuracy of your research/survey result. If anything goes wrong with your sample then it will be directly reflected in the final result.
C8308
The F-distribution is a skewed distribution of probabilities similar to a chi-squared distribution. But where the chi-squared distribution deals with the degree of freedom with one set of variables, the F-distribution deals with multiple levels of events having different degrees of freedom.
C8309
In multivariate regression there are more than one dependent variable with different variances (or distributions). The predictor variables may be more than one or multiple. But when we say multiple regression, we mean only one dependent variable with a single distribution or variance.

The Binomial Theorem: Formulas. The Binomial Theorem is a quick way (okay, it's a less slow way) of expanding (or multiplying out) a binomial expression that has been raised to some (generally inconveniently large) power. For instance, the expression (3x – 2)10 would be very painful to multiply out by hand.
C8319
In mathematics, statistics, finance, computer science, particularly in machine learning and inverse problems, regularization is the process of adding information in order to solve an ill-posed problem or to prevent overfitting.
C8320
A symbol defining a class, such as 56 to 65 in Table (1), is called a class interval. The end numbers, 56 and 65, are called class limits; the smaller number (56) is the lower class limit, and the larger number (65) is the upper class limit.

Definitions. The median (middle quartile) marks the mid-point of the data and is shown by the line that divides the box into two parts. Half the scores are greater than or equal to this value and half are less. The middle “box” represents the middle 50% of scores for the group.
C8327
Categorical Imperative sees an action as right or wrong, based on moral duty, without taking the consequences into account. Rule utilitarianism views an action as right or wrong only when we take the consequences of the action into account.
C8328
The points of our n dimensional space that obey a single one of our linear constraints as equalities, define a hyperplane. It is a plane-like region of n-1 dimensions in an n dimensional space. A hyperplane that actual forms part of the boundary of the feasible region is called an n-1 face of that region.
C8329
"Mean" usually refers to the population mean. This is the mean of the entire population of a set. The mean of the sample group is called the sample mean.
C8330
The Poisson parameter Lambda (λ) is the total number of events (k) divided by the number of units (n) in the data (λ = k/n). In between, or when events are infrequent, the Poisson distribution is used.
C8331
The sampling distribution of the sample mean can be thought of as "For a sample of size n, the sample mean will behave according to this distribution." Any random draw from that sampling distribution would be interpreted as the mean of a sample of n observations from the original population.

They can divide the entire country's population into cities (clusters) and select cities with the highest population and also filter those using mobile devices.
C8333
In summary, model parameters are estimated from data automatically and model hyperparameters are set manually and are used in processes to help estimate model parameters. Model hyperparameters are often referred to as parameters because they are the parts of the machine learning that must be set manually and tuned.
C8334
The finite population correction (fpc) factor is used to adjust a variance estimate for an estimated mean or total, so that this variance only applies to the portion of the population that is not in the sample.
C8335
An odds ratio is a measure of association between the presence or absence of two properties. The value of the odds ratio tells you how much more likely someone under 25 might be to make a claim, for example, and the associated confidence interval indicates the degree of uncertainty associated with that ratio.
C8336
The central limit theorem states that the sampling distribution of the mean approaches a normal distribution, as the sample size increases. Therefore, as a sample size increases, the sample mean and standard deviation will be closer in value to the population mean μ and standard deviation σ .

C8344
A true positive is an outcome where the model correctly predicts the positive class. Similarly, a true negative is an outcome where the model correctly predicts the negative class. A false positive is an outcome where the model incorrectly predicts the positive class.
C8345
The difference between MLE/MAP and Bayesian inference MLE gives you the value which maximises the Likelihood P(D|θ). And MAP gives you the value which maximises the posterior probability P(θ|D). MLE and MAP returns a single fixed value, but Bayesian inference returns probability density (or mass) function.
C8346
The value of the step size s depends on the fauntion. If it is too small the algorithm will be too slow. If it is too large the algrithm may over shoot the global minimum and behave eratically. Usually we set s to something like 0.01 and then adjust according to the results.
C8347
Calculating the SVD consists of finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of AAT and ATA. The eigenvectors of ATA make up the columns of V , the eigenvectors of AAT make up the columns of U. Also, the singular values in S are square roots of eigenvalues from AAT or ATA.
