Mathematical Statistics, Lecture 4

A New and MUCH Improved MathStat Playlist is Here:
******************************************************************************************

Binomial and gamma distributions, properties of the gamma function, discrete transformations

Thanks for watching! Consider checking out my new MathStat textbook!

You're the fucking best professor Jem. I've learned a lot from you in Coursera and now I'm here too!!!

Great presentation of the material! People who have forgotten distributions or never seen most of them before can still benefit from your lectures. Unfortunately I don't have access to your book and I wish you'd post, at least, the homework assignments so I can try them before your discussing the difficult ones in the following lecture.

Hey hi! I am having a wonderful time so far watching these lectures, even if it's been only pre-requisites so far. I love the conversation-like style, thanks a lot for making this publicly available, it really is a very unique resource.

Now, I was wondering two things. First is, is there some sort of ToC where I can check where are we headed? Youtube video titles within the playlist are non-informative. And second is, I noticed that later in this series there seems to be some odd numbering, like there is no Lecture 21, 24, 25, 26 but there are lectures 20, 22, 23. Then there seems to be lectures 27, 28, 29, followed by 32, 33, and then 36, 37, and nothing in between. Is there any logic to this that will become clear later, maybe?

I'm about to start a research project related to statistical mechanics and this series has been so helpful. Thank you for posting these!
