Finding Informative Features - CMU Statistics

Similarly, our uncertainty about the class C, in the absence of any other information, is just the entropy of C: H[C] = X c Pr(C= c)log 2 Pr(C= c) Now suppose we observe the value of the feature X.

RANDOM VARIABLES AND PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS

RANDOM VARIABLES AND PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS 1. DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLES 1.1. Definition of a Discrete Random Variable. A random variable X is said to be discrete if it can assume only a finite or countable infinite number of distinct values. A discrete random variable can be defined on both a countable or uncountable sample space. 1.2.

Sums of random number of random variables (random sums). Let X1;X2;X3;:::: be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables (i.i.d. random variables), each with the same distribution, each having common mean a = E(X) and variance s2 =Var(X). Here X is a r.v. having the same distribution as Xj. The sum S =åN j=1 Xj
