During your study of statistics, have you encountered the concepts of convergence in probability and convergence in distribution? Have you ever pondered why these concepts were introduced in the first place? If you have, then this story aims to help you answer some of those questions. Convergence...

Our innate ability to recognize patters allows us to use this skill in filling-in gaps or predicting what is going to happen next. Occasionally, however, something happens that does not fit our expectation and does not fall into our perception of a pattern. We call such occurrences anomalies. If we ...

This article contains information about altitude airdrop distribution, September 8, 2023. The time has come for Altitude’s airdrop ! there will be 10 airdrop distributions making up a total of 1.5% of total supply for eligible airdrop participants. These distributions will be broken up on a...

If you search “best linux distro for beginners” on your search engine of choice, there’ll be no shortage of forum posts, blogs, videos, and other such media touting to have the definitive list on what the best Linux-based operating system for newcomers is in a given year. “To...

In the last post we suggested that Canada might be thought of as a ‘shoestring country.’ Let’s look at a few basics about Canada’s population. Canada has 38.2 million people, almost the same as California, the most populous state in the US (with 39.5 million.) A European c...

When my maternal grandmother passed away, my mom planted a very special rose bush, the Double Delight hybrid tea rose. Some years later my parents were moving, but my mom could not leave what felt like a piece of her mother behind, so she snipped a few branches to bring with her and, with no fanfare...

In recent years, we saw a big change/additions in distribution channels. This was due to e-commerce. E-commerce completely changed the game of distribution for reasons. E-commerce companies had a model of seeing themselves as the manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer. They make the products available...

The Beta distribution is a probability distribution on probabilities. It is a versatile probability distribution that could be used to model probabilities in different scenarios. Examples include the Click-Through Rate (CTR) of an advertisement, the conversion rate of customers purchasing...

Whether it be probability, statistics, Data Science, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, or any other likewise field, having the knowledge of the distribution of data is a must or crucial, because it helps in dealing with data. Since both the distributions (Binomial & Bernoulli) are very confusi...

The Log-Normal Distribution is similar to the Logit-Normal Distribution but differs in two key aspects. The Logit-Normal Distribution is used for data bounded between 0 and 1, typically representing probabilities or proportions. In contrast, the Log-Normal Distribution is applied to positive data th...

Once upon a time, there was a bakery run by a friendly baker named Dave. After years of baking, Dave noticed that during the morning rush the number of croissants that he would sell could change every hour. Curious to discover a pattern, Dave started keeping track of the number of croissants he s...

There are different methods for updating a reinforcement learning agent’s policy at each iteration. A few weeks ago we started experimenting with replacing our current method with a Bayesian inference step. Some of the data workloads within our agent are written in SQL that is executed on GCP&...

1. Why did Poisson invent the Poisson Distribution? To predict the number of events that will take place in the future! More precisely, to predict the probability of a specific number of events occurring within a fixed time interval. If you have ever sold anything, this “eve...

In a course about numerical approximation of probability measure, I recently learned about the Zipf distribution, which mathematically describes the observation that the frequency of the nth most common entry in a list is (somehow) inversely proportional to n. For example: The nth most common wor...

About We will briefly look at the definition of the log-normal and then go onto calculate the distribution’s parameters μ and σ from simple data. We will then have a look at how to calculate the mean, mode, median and variance from this probability distribution. Informal Definit...

Hello world, this is my first blog for the Data Science community. In this blog, we are going to see the various types of transformations of data to better fit for normal distribution (Gaussian Distribution). We know that in the regression analysis the response variable should be normal...

In order to understand beta distributions, lets image we have three coins. These coins can either land on heads or tails but all of them are rigged. The first one returns heads with a probability of 40%. The second one returns heads with the probability of 60% and the third one returns heads with a ...

Despite the $26 billion global opioid settlement that has been approved by thousands of communities in the U.S. and several state attorneys general in 2022, opioid litigation continues, with the latest lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) against AmerisourceBergen, one of the nation...
