Probability and Statistics: Overview

Описание: This is the introductory overview video in a new series on Probability and Statistics! Probability and Statistics are cornerstones of modern data science and machine learning, and this short course will rapidly cover all of the basics and get into advanced topics. The course is roughly structured into four parts: Introduction to Probability (5 hours), Introduction to Statistics (5 hours), Advanced Probability (5 hours), and Advanced Statistics (5 hours).

Special thanks to Dr. John Quintanilla from the University of North Texas for his inspiring lectures that first got me excited about Probability and Statistics! Thanks Dr. Q!
