Introduction to Statistical Learning Theory

The main goal of statistical learning theory is to provide a framework for study-ing the problem of inference, that is of gaining knowledge, making predictions, making decisions or constructing models from a set of data. This is studied in a statistical framework, that is there are assumptions of statistical nature about

Chapter 5 Measures of distance between samples: non …

Measures of distance between samples: non-Euclidean Euclidean distances are special because they conform to our physical concept of distance. But there are many other distance measures which can be defined between multivariate samples. These non-Euclidean distances are of different types: some still satisfy the basic

Reading 5b: Continuous Random Variables

The probability density function f(x) of a continuous random variable is the analogue of the probability mass function p(x) of a discrete random variable. Here are two important differences: 1. Unlike p(x), the pdf f(x) is not a probability. You have to integrate it to get proba­ bility. (See section 4.2 below.) 2.

A Conditional expectation

Suppose that the random variables are discrete. We need to compute the expected value of the random variable E[XjY]. It is a function of Y and it takes on the value E[XjY = y] when Y = y. So by the law of the unconscious whatever, E[E[XjY]] = X y E[XjY = y]P(Y = y) By the partition theorem this is equal to E[X]. So in the discrete case, (iv) is ...

Two Proofs of the Central Limit Theorem

A Bernoulli random variable Ber(p) is 1 with probability pand 0 otherwise. A binomial random variable Bin(n;p) is the sum of nindependent Ber(p) variables. Let us nd the moment generating functions of Ber(p) and Bin(n;p). For a Bernoulli random variable, it is very simple: M Ber(p) = (1 p) + pe t= 1 + (et 1)p:
