Unless you quantify what 'likely' means and what 'high value' means, it can not be used in any quantitative analysis. You can define your response to be 'customers with annual revenue exceeding $1,000'. You need to ask yourself the question: if I send this to a team in India, will they define 'likely high value customer' as was intended."
Mar 5, 2012 · The wikipedia page claims that likelihood and probability are distinct concepts.. In non-technical parlance, "likelihood" is usually a synonym for "probability," but in statistical usage there is a clear distinction in perspective: the number that is the probability of some observed outcomes given a set of parameter values is regarded as the likelihood of the set of parameter values given the ...
Sep 16, 2021 · From this perspective, A A is less likely to occur. So, in a single trial A A is more likely to occur than others, but from the perspective of multiple trials, A A is less likely to occur. An example is an event of 100 100 coin tosses. The probability of getting 50 50 heads is roughly 0.08 0.08. This is more than any other probability.
Aug 14, 2016 · The difference is easiest to see with discrete distributions: Consider two sets of values where each number is equally likely to be drawn: {1,2,2,2,10} and {1,2,2,2,3}. Both have the same mode (2), but the expected values differ. Expected value puts extra weight on large values while the mode simply looks for what value occurs frequently.
Nov 28, 2015 · Just a small note on your answer: the size of the hypothesis space is indeed 65,536, but the a more easily explained expression for it would be 2(24) 2 (2 4), since, there are 24 2 4 possible unique samples, and thus 2(24) 2 (2 4) possible label assignments for the entire input space. – engelen.

32. Consistency of an estimator means that as the sample size gets large the estimate gets closer and closer to the true value of the parameter. Unbiasedness is a finite sample property that is not affected by increasing sample size. An estimate is unbiased if its expected value equals the true parameter value.
I believe that most 'frequentists' and 'Bayesians' would rigorously define probability in the same way: via Kolmogorov's axioms and measure theory, modulo some issues about finite vs countable additivity, depending on who you're talking to. So in terms of 'symbols' I reckon you'll likely find more or less the same definition across the board.
Mar 1, 2016 · We have a random experiment with different outcomes forming the sample space Ω, on which we look with interest at certain patterns, called events F. Sigma-algebras (or sigma-fields) are made up of events to which a probability measure P can be assigned. Certain properties are fulfilled, including the inclusion of the null set ∅ and the ...
Sep 15, 2018 · purpose: an estimator seeks to know a property of the true state of nature, while a prediction seeks to guess the outcome of a random variable; and. uncertainty: a predictor usually has larger uncertainty than a related estimator, due to the added uncertainty in the outcome of that random variable. Well-documented and -described predictors ...
33. The likelihood could be defined by several ways, for instance : the function from Θ × X which maps (θ, x) to L(θ ∣ x) i.e. L: Θ × X → R. the random function L(⋅ ∣ X) we could also consider that the likelihood is only the "observed" likelihood L(⋅ ∣ xobs) in practice the likelihood brings information on θ only up to a ...
