Randomness: Crash Course Statistics #17

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
There are a lot of events in life that we just can-t predict, but just because something is random doesn-t mean we don-t know or can-t learn anything about it. Today, we-re going to talk about how we can extract information from seemingly random events starting with the expected value or mean of a distribution and walking through the first four -moments- - the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. Note: There are many formulas to calculate skewness and kurtosis our formulas deal with what they have in common, their moment generating functions. More on sheep study: More on fecal matter study

Excellent video. Just one mistake that has to be rectified. At 9'03'', the graph illustrating Kurtorsis is incorrect. Re-scaled Kurtorsis is an indicator of heavy tails compared to normal distributions. In that graph, the light blue curve with heavy tails (e. g. a t distribution PDF) should have a positive Kurtorsis, while the blue curve with thin tails should have a negative Kurtorsis.

I came here because I thought it was going to be about generating random numbers. Does this have anything to do with the difficulty in generating truly random numbers?
Loved the ending.

CORRECTION: At 6: 20 the summation on the left should be divided by N. Also, at 7: 49 we meant (-2)-2 and not -2-2. Thanks a ton guys for helping us spot those issues.

10: 54 its the guy and girl from the meme. yes THAT meme. (the one where the guy is checking out the girl who just passed by him while the girl to his right looks disgusted)

I'm watching this just before my lunch time. Now I want some french fries.
Edit: Yup. Done with the video, it's lunch time - I'm heading to go get fries.

GOTTFRIED LEIBNIZ!
But no, seriously, they both came up with it independently (or so I've heard. Newton just gets all the credit, usually.
