Types of probability distributions

Univariate distribution

In statistics, a univariate distribution is a probability distribution of only one random variable. This is in contrast to a multivariate distribution, the probability distribution of a random vector (consisting of multiple random variables). (Wikipedia).

(ML 7.10) Posterior distribution for univariate Gaussian (part 2)

Computing the posterior distribution for the mean of the univariate Gaussian, with a Gaussian prior (assuming known prior mean, and known variances). The posterior is Gaussian, showing that the Gaussian is a conjugate prior for the mean of a Gaussian.

Andreas H. Hamel: From set-valued quantiles to risk measures: a set optimization approach to...

Abstract : Some questions in mathematics are not answered for quite some time, but just sidestepped. One of those questions is the following: What is the quantile of a multi-dimensional random variable? The "sidestepping" in this case produced so-called depth functions and depth regions, a

How to Handle Outliers in your Dataset in Business Statistics (Week 6B)

Outliers can cause big problems in your data. We learn what causes outliers, how to identify them, the problems they cause, and options for dealign with them. Some outliers should stay in the data. Others should be corrected, winsorized, or sometimes discarded. We explore the difference b
