Mathematical Models

This weeks resources focus on providing more detailed information about the mathematics behind many models we have encountered to this point. The materials are a mixture of readings and jupyter notebooks, and are broken into standard conceptual blocks.

Supervised Learning

In supervised learning, we know the labels of some data that we would like to predict. Both classification and regression are examples of supervised learning problems.

Linear Regression

Classification

  • **PYDSHB: Naive Bayes in Depth**: Overview of classification using Bayes Theorem from the Python Data Science Handbook. Jupyter notebook with accompanying Python code.
  • **ISLR: Classification**: Introductory mathematical and statistical presentation of classification using Logistic Regression from ISLR textbook. Contains relevant R code.
  • **ESL: Classification**: Rigorous development of classification from Elements of Statistical Learning.
  • **Notes on Classification**: Notes from Andrew Ng’s class introducing classification and Logistic Regression.
