Study Notes

Attributes can be classified into four types based on their properties: distinctness, order, addition, and multiplication.
Discrete attributes have a finite or countably infinite set of values, such as zip codes or counts, while continuous attributes have real numbers as values like temperature or weight.
Central tendency of data can be measured using mean, median, and mode, with the empirical formula relating mean, mode, and median.
Correlation measures the linear relationship between objects and is computed by standardizing data objects and taking their dot product.
Mutual information can be used as a loss function, involving joint distributions that are tractable for discrete variables, and can be parameterized using a deep neural network for estimation.
