The Theorem Every Data Scientist Should Know (Part 2) #MachineLearning #DataScience

  • The standard deviation of the population distribution is tied with the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
  • With the standard deviation of the sampling distribution and the sample size, we are able to calculate the standard deviation of the population distribution.
  • The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is called the standard error.
  • The mean of the sampling distribution will cluster around the population mean.
  • If we collect a large number of different samples mean, the distribution of those samples mean should take the shape of a normal distribution no matter what the population distribution is.

@MikeTamir: “The Theorem Every Data Scientist Should Know (Part 2) #MachineLearning #DataScience”

Last week, I wrote a post about the Central Limit Theorem. In that post, I explained through examples what the theorem is and why it’s so important when working with data. If you haven’t read it yet, go do it now. To keep the post short and focused, I didn’t go into many details. The goal of that post was to communicate the general concept of the theorem. In the days following it’s publication, I received many messages. People wanted me to go into more details.

Governments have much to gain from applying algorithms to public policy, but controversies loom

If used with discretion, governments and societies stand to gain from machine learning

  • Many areas of policy, he suggests, could do with a dose of machine learning.
  • By helping to allocate scarce public funds more accurately, machine learning could save governments significant sums.
  • Machines are trained to find patterns that predict future criminality from past data.
  • Many police chiefs already have a simple system to flag “at risk” officers.
  • Mr Mullainathan and his colleagues show that machine learning can help predict the risk of death.

  • Whilst suggesting that there must also be willingness from larger companies “to begin playing with big data.”
  • The recent obsession and progression of AI would not have been possible without big data.
  • Many big data technologies have been embraced by a broader range of companies; we still have a long way to go.
  • The evolution of big data can be viewed in three distinct timeframes.
  • Turck even suggests that “AI is the child of big data.”

OK, let’s drop autonomous vehicles for a second. Things are getting serious. This post is about creating a machine that writes its own code. More or less.
