Study Notes
Distributions
- The multivariate normal distribution is used to model the joint distribution of multiple random variables.
Moment Generating Functions
- The moment generating function is used to calculate the moments of a probability distribution, which are the expected values of the powers of a random variable.
- The purpose of the moment generating function is to summarize the characteristic of a probability distribution.
Linear Regression
- The main purpose of a linear regression model is to establish a linear relationship between a dependent variable (response variable) and one or more independent variables (predictor variables).
- The goal of linear regression is to create a model that can predict the value of the response variable based on the values of the predictor variables.
