Saying that the sample mean is an unbiased estimate of the population mean simply means that there is no systematic distortion that will tend to make it either overestimate or underestimate the population parameter. We run into a problem when we work with the variance, although it is a problem that is easily fixed.
C9606
To calculate the variance follow these steps: Work out the Mean (the simple average of the numbers) Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result (the squared difference). Then work out the average of those squared differences.
C9607
The coefficient of variation (CV) is a measure of relative variability. It is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean (average). For example, the expression “The standard deviation is 15% of the mean” is a CV.
C9608
If we have an irreducible Markov chain, this means that the chain is aperiodic. Since the number 1 is co-prime to every integer, any state with a self-transition is aperiodic. Consider a finite irreducible Markov chain Xn: If there is a self-transition in the chain (pii>0 for some i), then the chain is aperiodic.
C9609
The Loss Function is one of the important components of Neural Networks. Loss is nothing but a prediction error of Neural Net. And the method to calculate the loss is called Loss Function. In simple words, the Loss is used to calculate the gradients. And gradients are used to update the weights of the Neural Net.
C9610
One way to measure multicollinearity is the variance inflation factor (VIF), which assesses how much the variance of an estimated regression coefficient increases if your predictors are correlated. If no factors are correlated, the VIFs will all be 1.

An example of a nonlinear classifier is kNN. If a problem is nonlinear and its class boundaries cannot be approximated well with linear hyperplanes, then nonlinear classifiers are often more accurate than linear classifiers. If a problem is linear, it is best to use a simpler linear classifier.
C9614
Linear mixed models (sometimes called “multilevel models” or “hierarchical models”, depending on the context) are a type of regression model that take into account both (1) variation that is explained by the independent variables of interest (like lm() ) – fixed effects, and (2) variation that is not explained by the
C9615
Linear regression is called 'Linear regression' not because the x's or the dependent variables are linear with respect to the y or the independent variable but because the parameters or the thetas are.
C9616
Use simple logistic regression when you have one nominal variable and one measurement variable, and you want to know whether variation in the measurement variable causes variation in the nominal variable.
C9617
Predictive modeling is the process of using known results to create, process, and validate a model that can be used to forecast future outcomes. It is a tool used in predictive analytics, a data mining technique that attempts to answer the question "what might possibly happen in the future?"

K nearest neighbors is a simple algorithm that stores all available cases and classifies new cases based on a similarity measure (e.g., distance functions). KNN has been used in statistical estimation and pattern recognition already in the beginning of 1970's as a non-parametric technique.
C9621
We use many algorithms such as Naïve Bayes, Decision trees, SVM, Random forest classifier, KNN, and logistic regression for classification.
C9622
The Likelihood-Ratio test (sometimes called the likelihood-ratio chi-squared test) is a hypothesis test that helps you choose the “best” model between two nested models. Model Two has two predictor variables (age,sex). It is “nested” within model one because it has just two of the predictor variables (age, sex).
C9623
Serial dependence refers to the notion that returns evolve nonrandomly; that is, they are correlated with their prior values. One variation of serial dependence is called mean reversion. With mean reversion, returns revert to an average value or asset prices revert to an equilibrium value.
C9624
One of the newest and most effective ways to resolve the vanishing gradient problem is with residual neural networks, or ResNets (not to be confused with recurrent neural networks). ResNets refer to neural networks where skip connections or residual connections are part of the network architecture.
C9625
In probability theory, an experiment or trial (see below) is any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes, known as the sample space. An experiment is said to be random if it has more than one possible outcome, and deterministic if it has only one.

The log likelihood This is important because it ensures that the maximum value of the log of the probability occurs at the same point as the original probability function. Therefore we can work with the simpler log-likelihood instead of the original likelihood.
C9631
False confidence in stepwise results The standard errors of the coefficient estimates are underestimated, which makes the confidence intervals too narrow, the t statistics too high, and the p values too low—which leads to overfitting and creates a false confidence in the final model.

Hierarchical SVMs refer to those methods that decompose the training tasks according to the structure of the taxonomy [4][5][6][10][17][19]. That is, an SVM model is trained to distinguish only among those categories with the same parent node in the taxonomy tree.
C9634
Heterogeneity in statistics means that your populations, samples or results are different. It is the opposite of homogeneity, which means that the population/data/results are the same. A heterogeneous population or sample is one where every member has a different value for the characteristic you're interested in.

Time Complexity and Space Complexity are two factors which determine which algorithm is better than the other. Time Complexity in a simple way means the amount of time an algorithm takes to run. Space complexity means the amount of space required by the algorithm.
C9637
R-squared is a goodness-of-fit measure for linear regression models. This statistic indicates the percentage of the variance in the dependent variable that the independent variables explain collectively. For instance, small R-squared values are not always a problem, and high R-squared values are not necessarily good!
C9638
For a normal distribution, the average deviation is somewhat less efficient than the standard deviation as a measure of scale, but this advantage quickly reverses for distributions with heavier tails.
