An overview of statistial learning Statistical learning refers to a vast set of tools for understanding data. Two categories: supervised and unsupervised. Supervised: Build models based on known input and output data, then use the model for prediction or estimation. Unsupervised: There are inputs but no supervised outputs. We can learn relationships and structures from such data. Notation and simple algebra The $ X_{ij} $ represents the value for the $ jth $ variable for the $ ith $ observation, where $ i=1,2,…n $ and $ j=1,2,…n $. [Read More]
