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 $.
