Statistics: Dependence of random variables and conditional distributions 2 with Michal Fabinger

We're excited to host lectures on Statistics. They are a part of a 2022 lecture series that aims to build a solid foundation of statistics knowledge for the participants. The first 2 lectures by Michal Fabinger focus on crucial and often misunderstood properties of probability distributions that influence the behavior of statistical models. The concepts are introduced in an intuitive yet rigorous way.

The material should later help the participants understand scientific articles that use probability theory and statistics. Such knowledge is useful both for machine learning and data science practitioners and for those on an academic path (undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, or faculty members). The content is similar to the corresponding course at the Acalonia school.

📌 Topics discussed: Expectation, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and higher moments of distributions. Fat-tailed distributions. Properties of distributions that are often wrongly neglected.
