Introduction: Statistics, a subject we encounter from our school days, often intimidates many. Yet, its importance spans across various industries, highlighting its significance. In this blog post, I aim to simplify this subject, making it easier to grasp. Let's dive in together. Types: Let's start by discussing the two main types: Descriptive and Inferential. Well! what are they? When you say " descriptive , " you would think of it as 'detailed,' right? Yeah, that's the meaning. In statistics, it refers to considering the entire population . When you say " inferential ", you would think of it as 'getting something from something', right? In statistics, it refers to considering a small sample from the entire population. Now, let's delve into Descriptive Statistics! Stay tuned for our next blog post, where we'll explore Inferential Statistics.   Fig. Descriptive Statistics Central tendency is a way of figuring out where the midd...

Introduction: In machine learning, a common question arises: how do we use and represent categorical features? How can we convert them into numerical features that algorithms can understand and process? When do we use label encoding, and when is one-hot encoding the better choice? This blog post aims to provide a clear understanding of these concepts and their applications. Why Encoding? Encoding is a technique that transforms categorical variables, which are qualitative in nature, into numerical vectors. This allows machine learning algorithms to understand and process them effectively. Categorical variables can be either: Ordinal: These values have an inherent order, like ratings (Very Good, Good, Average, Bad, Very Bad). Nominal: These values have no intrinsic order, like colors (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow). How to do encoding?  The most widely used encoding techniques are:  1. Label Encoding,  2. One Hot Encoding. Label encoding:  This method assigns a unique integ...

Introduction: Imagine training a model to predict house prices. You want it to be spot-on, right? But just being accurate isn't enough. You need a model that's reliable, consistently nailing predictions even for houses it's never seen before. This seemingly simple task becomes a complex dance between accuracy and generalizability, where bias and variance step into the spotlight. WHY Bias and Variance Matter: Bias deals with Training error. Variance deals with difference in Test errors while using different training sets. Bias: In machine learning, bias refers to the extent of disparity between a model's predictions and the actual target variable when utilizing the training data, i.e., training error. High bias can result in underfitting, a scenario in which the algorithm fails to grasp the pertinent relationships between the available features and the target values. Alternatively, if there's minimal bias against the training data, it can lead to overfitting. Th...

Introduction: For data scientists, the ultimate goal is to uncover hidden patterns and trends in complex datasets, like predicting house price, market behavior or understanding customer preferences. Amidst various techniques available, logarithmic transformations stand out as a versatile tool that unlocks invaluable insights. This blog post explains the importance and effective use of logarithmic transformations. Why Logarithmic Transformations Matter? By transforming data into a logarithmic scale, complex relationships become more linear, facilitating easier interpretation and fostering a deeper understanding of underlying trends, patterns, and anomalies. How to Implement Logarithmic Transformations? Understanding the Basics: At its core, a logarithmic transformation reshapes data from its original scale to a logarithmic scale. This alteration unveils obscured patterns, facilitating a more nuanced analysis that transcends the limitations of raw data. Choose the Right Base: Se...

Introduction: This blog simplifies the learning of discrete random variables. When we understand the underlying relationships between different types of discrete random variables, we are more likely to remember the concepts. Let's dive into the learning. Why Discrete Random Variables: Discrete random variable are a fundamental concept in probability and statistics, and they have many practical applications for modeling and analyzing real-world phenomena.  Modeling Real-World Events: Many real-world events and situations involve countable or distinct outcomes. For example, the number of defective products in a manufacturing batch, the number of customers entering a store in a given hour, or the number of times a student raises their hand in a classroom. Discrete random variables are well-suited to model these kinds of events. Interpretable Results: When you work with discrete random variables, the resulting probabilities are often more interpretable. For example, if you're stud...

Introduction Outliers are data points that deviate significantly from the rest of the data in a set. They can be caused by a variety of factors, such as data entry errors, measurement errors, or anomalies in the underlying process. Outliers can distort the results of data analysis and make it difficult to identify trends and patterns. Two  common methods for outlier detection are: z-score and IQR.  Z-score method to identify outliers The z-score is a measure of how far a data point is from the mean of the data set. A z-score of 3 or more is generally considered to be an outlier. To calculate the z-score for a data point, you can use the following formula: z = (x - mean) / standard_deviation where: x is the data point. mean is the mean of the data set. standard_deviation is the standard deviation of the data set. The below code explains how to detect and remove outlier. As you can see, the outlier 1000 has been removed from the data set. IQR method to identify outlier...
