Probability Distributions and their Stories
Completion requirements
Given any module that deals with statistics, one basic skill you must have is to be able to program and create plots of probability distributions typically encountered in the field of data science. This tutorial should remind you of various distributions introduced in this section, but now they are phrased using the scipy.stats module.
Continuous Multivariate distributions
We will consider two continuous multivariate distributions here, the multivariate Gaussian and the Dirichlet. Generally plotting multivariate PDFs is difficult, but bivariate PDFs may be conveniently plotted as contour plots. In our investigation of the multivariate Gaussian distribution, I will also demonstrate how to make plots of bivariate PDFs.
