Common Probability Distributions Probability Distribution A probability distribution describes the probabilities of all the possible outcomes for a random variable. A discrete random variable if one for which the number of possible outcomes can be co…

PRML Chapter 2. Probability Distributions P68 conjugate priors In Bayesian probability theory, if the posterior distributions p(θ|x) are in the same family as the prior probability distributionp(θ), the prior and posterior are then called conjugate d…

2.1. Binary Variables 1. Bernoulli distribution, p(x = 1|µ) = µ 2.Binomial distribution + 3.beta distribution(Conjugate Prior of Bernoulli distribution) The parameters a and b are often called hyperparameters because they control the distribution of…

主讲人 网络上的尼采 (新浪微博: @Nietzsche_复杂网络机器学习) 网络上的尼采(813394698) 9:11:56 开始吧,先不要发言了,先讲PRML第二章Probability Distributions.今天的内容比较多,还是边思考边打字,会比较慢,大家不要着急,上午讲不完下午会接着讲. 顾名思义,PRML第二章Probability Distributions的主要内容有:伯努利分布. 二项式 –beta共轭分布.多项式分布 -狄利克雷共轭分布 .高斯分布 .频率派和贝叶斯派…

Basics of Probability Probability density function (pdf). Let X be a continuous random variable. Then a probability distribution or probability density function (pdf) of X is a function f(x) such that any two numbers a and b with That is, the probabi…

PDF version PDF & CDF The probability density function is $$f(x; \mu, \sigma) = {1\over\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}e^{-{1\over2}{(x-\mu)^2\over\sigma^2}}$$ The cumulative distribution function is defined by $$F(x; \mu, \sigma) = \Phi\left({x-\mu\over\sigma}\ri…

PDF version PDF & CDF The probability density function of the uniform distribution is $$f(x; \alpha, \beta) = \begin{cases}{1\over\beta-\alpha} & \mbox{if}\ \alpha < x < \beta\\ 0 & \mbox{otherwise} \end{cases} $$ The cumulative distribu…

PDF version PDF & CDF The exponential probability density function (PDF) is $$f(x; \lambda) = \begin{cases}\lambda e^{-\lambda x} & x\geq0\\ 0 & x < 0 \end{cases}$$ The exponential cumulative distribution function (CDF) is $$F(x; \lambda) =…

PDF version PMF Suppose that a sample of size $n$ is to be chosen randomly (without replacement) from an urn containing $N$ balls, of which $m$ are white and $N-m$ are black. If we let $X$ denote the number of white balls selected, then $$f(x; N, m,…
