ML & DS
/ML & DS_
The mathematical foundations behind modern ML systems — probability, statistics, and information theory. Each topic is a standalone visual guide with worked examples.
Probability¶
- Probability Basics -- The probability scale, conditional probability, and combining events
- Compound Probability -- Sequential events, independence, drawing without replacement, expected value
Statistics & Distributions¶
- Random Variables & Distributions -- Discrete vs. continuous, PMF, PDF, CDF, and named distributions
- Statistics Fundamentals -- Descriptive vs. inferential, measures of center and spread, correlation
Inference & Information¶
- Bayes' Theorem -- Prior, likelihood, posterior, sequential updating, and common intuition traps
- Information Theory -- Entropy, cross-entropy, KL divergence, and mutual information
