Decision theory | Robust statistics
Info-gap decision theory seeks to optimize robustness to failure under severe uncertainty, in particular applying sensitivity analysis of the stability radius type to perturbations in the value of a given estimate of the parameter of interest. It has some connections with Wald's maximin model; some authors distinguish them, others consider them instances of the same principle. It has been developed by Yakov Ben-Haim, and has found many and described as a theory for decision-making under "severe uncertainty". It has been as unsuited for this purpose, and proposed, including such classical approaches as robust optimization. (Wikipedia).

(ML 11.4) Choosing a decision rule - Bayesian and frequentist
Choosing a decision rule, from Bayesian and frequentist perspectives. To make the problem well-defined from the frequentist perspective, some additional guiding principle is introduced such as unbiasedness, minimax, or invariance.

Calculus - Find the limit of a function using epsilon and delta
This video shows how to use epsilon and delta to prove that the limit of a function is a certain value. This particular video uses a linear function to highlight the process and make it easier to understand. Later videos take care of more complicated functions and using epsilon and delta
