... You have just calculated the average and standard deviation of a list of 101 numbers, finding an average of 240.0 and a standard deviation of 25.88. Unfortunately, a check of the list of numbers uncovers two errors. A number originally listed as 230 should be 200. A number originally listed as 250 s ...

... – Assumes that the log odds of y=1 is a linear function of x (i.e., w∙x) – Learning goal is to learn a weight vector w such that examples with y=1 are predicted to have high P(y=1|x) and vice versa • Maximum likelihood estimation is a approach that achieves this • Iterative algorithm to learn w us ...

German tank problem

In the statistical theory of estimation, the problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement is known in English as the German tank problem, due to its application in World War II to the estimation of the number of German tanks.The analyses illustrate the difference between frequentist inference and Bayesian inference.Estimating the population maximum based on a single sample yields divergent results, while the estimation based on multiple samples is an instructive practical estimation question whose answer is simple but not obvious.
