Key-value pairs

A type of data where each value is associated with a unique key. Examples include dictionaries in Python and objects in JavaScript.

Clustering

The process of grouping similar data points together to create meaningful categories.

Generalization

A measure of how well a model performs on previously unseen data.

Supervised learning

This type of learning involves training a model on a dataset with known labels. For example, training a model to identify different types of flowers based on labeled images.

        • Definition of Utility (U)
        • Characteristics of Utility
        • Total Utility (TU) Formula: TU = ΣMU
        • Marginal Utility (MU).Formula: MU = ΔTU/ ΔQ
        • Relationship between TU and MU (bell shape)
        • Relationship between MU and TU (increase, max, decrease)
        • Examples with calculations
    • Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility: (WTP ↓ if we buy more)
    • Consumer Surplus (difference between WTP & actual expenditure)
    • Calculating equilibrium state and market situations (surplus/shortage)
    • Consumer's Preference (complete, transitive)
      • Indifference Curve
      • Budget Theory
        • Examples of bundles (football tickets, film tickets)
    • Lagrange Multiplier Method
      • Finding optimum
      • Consumer utility maximization with budget constraint (U(X,Y) \to max)

      • Income Consumption Curve (shifts right/left)
      • Normal goods / Inferior goods
      • Price Consumption Curve
      • Substitution Effect, Income Effect
    • Demand characteristics of goods
      • Importance of properties and characteristics for consumer purchases

    • Demand estimation and forecasting
      • Types of methods (elasticity method)
      • Elasticity of demand (Ed)
      • Cross-price elasticity of demand (Ed) (comparing goods)
        • Normal goods/inferior goods/complements/substitutes
    • Decision under Risk and Uncertainty
      • Definitions: probability, payoff, states of nature
      • Expected value (EV)
