Statistical Learning

Uses data to create models that can predict or understand phenomena
Often involves using algorithms to learn from data and make predictions
Can be divided into supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning methods

Bayesian Learning

Uses Bayes' Theorem to update prior beliefs about a hypothesis based on new data
Example: You believe a coin is fair (50% chance of heads). You flip it 10 times and get 8 heads. Bayesian learning would update your belief to favor a higher probability of heads, taking into account both your prior belief and the observed data.

Expectation-Maximization (EM) Algorithm

An iterative method for finding maximum likelihood estimates of parameters in models with hidden variables.
Steps:
- Expectation (E) Step: Estimate the values of hidden variables based on current parameter values.
- Maximization (M) Step: Update parameter values to maximize the likelihood of the observed data, given the estimated values of hidden variables.
- Repeat E and M steps until convergence.

Maximum-Likelihood Parameter Learning for Continuous Models

Estimates model parameters by maximizing the likelihood of the observed data.
For continuous models, this often involves finding the parameters that maximize the probability density function of the data.

Temporal Difference Learning

A reinforcement learning method that learns from experience by updating value estimations based on the difference between predicted rewards and actual rewards.
Used in tasks where the reward is delayed, allowing the agent to learn from past actions and improve its performance.

Reinforcement Learning

A type of machine learning where an agent learns to interact with an environment to maximize a reward signal.
The agent takes actions, receives feedback in the form of rewards, and adjusts its actions to achieve a goal.

Applications of Reinforcement Learning

Robotics: Controlling robot movements and tasks.
Game playing: Developing AI agents that can play games like chess or Go at a high level.
Finance: Optimizing trading strategies and risk management.
Healthcare: Personalizing treatment plans and improving patient outcomes.

Passive Reinforcement Learning

A type of reinforcement learning where the agent does not control the environment's actions.
Instead, the agent learns by observing the environment's behavior and receiving feedback on the rewards associated with different actions.

Naive Bayes Models

A probabilistic classification model based on Bayes' theorem.
Assumes independence between features, which is a simplifying assumption that may not always hold true.
Used for tasks like spam filtering, sentiment analysis, and document classification.

Hidden Markov Model (HMM)

A probabilistic model that describes a sequence of observations as a function of hidden states.
It is characterized by state transitions between hidden states and emissions from these states to observable outputs.
Used in speech recognition, bioinformatics, and finance.

Unsupervised Learning

A type of machine learning where the model learns without labeled data.
Instead, the model tries to find patterns and structures in the data itself, such as clustering similar data points or finding hidden relationships between variables.

Hidden Variables or Latent Variables

Variables that are not directly observed but are assumed to influence the observable variables.
Examples:
- In a topic modeling task, the hidden variables might represent different topics present in a document.
- In a customer segmentation task, the hidden variables might represent different customer segments.

Adaptive Dynamic Programming

A method for solving dynamic programming problems with incomplete knowledge of the system dynamics.
Uses data and experience to progressively improve the model's knowledge of the system.
Used in optimal control applications, where environmental changes and uncertainties are present.

Q-Learning

A reinforcement learning algorithm that learns an optimal policy by estimating the value of taking each action in each state.
This value function is called the 'Q-value' and is based on the expected future rewards for performing the action in that state.
Q-Learning can be used to find optimal policies for complex, dynamic environments by recursively updating the Q-values based on experience.

Association Rule Mining

A technique for discovering interesting relationships between items in a data set.
It identifies rules that indicate the likelihood of occurrence of one item based on the presence of another item.
Used in market basket analysis, recommendation systems, and fraud detection.

Metrics for Evaluating Association Rule Mining

Support: The fraction of transactions that contain both antecedent and consequent of the rule.
Confidence: The probability of the consequent given the antecedent.
Lift: The ratio of the confidence of the rule to the support of the consequent. This metric measures how much more likely the consequent is to occur when the antecedent is present, compared to the overall frequency of the consequent.

Association Rule Mining Concepts:

Support: The percentage of transactions in the dataset where a specific itemset exists. It indicates how common the itemset is in the dataset.
- Example: If 10% of transactions contain both "milk" and "cereal", the support for the itemset {milk, cereal} is 10%.
Confidence: The probability that a consequent itemset occurs, given that the antecedent itemset occurs. It indicates how often the consequent itemset is observed when the antecedent itemset is present.
- Example: If 80% of transactions containing "milk" also contain "cereal", the confidence of the rule {milk} -> {cereal} is 80%.
Lift: The ratio of the confidence of a rule to the support of the consequent itemset. It indicates how much more likely the consequent is to occur when the antecedent is present, compared to its overall frequency in the dataset. A lift value greater than 1 indicates that the antecedent is positively associated with the consequent.
- Example: If the support for {cereal} is 20%, and the confidence for the rule {milk}-> {cereal} is 80%, then the lift of the rule is 80%/20% = 4. This means that the occurrence of milk makes the occurrence of cereal 4 times more likely than it would be otherwise.
