Parameter estimation for text analysis
This primer presents parameter estimation methods common in Bayesian statistics and apply them to discrete probability distributions, which commonly occur in text modeling. Presentation starts with maximum likelihood and a posteriori estimation approaches and the full Bayesian approach. This presentation is completed by an overview of Bayesian networks, a graphical language to express probabili...
متن کاملA Primer on Probability
Example 3 A coin toss is an example of a Bernoulli trial, which in general is an experiment with only two possible outcomes: success, which occurs with probability p; and failure, which occurs with probability q := 1−p. Of course, success and failure are arbitrary names, which can be changed as convenient. In the case of a coin, we might associate success with the outcome that the coin comes up...

متن کاملA Primer on Probabilistic Inference
Research in computer science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics has produced a variety of tools that are useful in developing probabilistic models of human cognition. We provide an introduction to the principles of probabilistic inference that are used in the papers appearing in this special issue. We lay out the basic principles that underlie probabilistic models in detail, and then bri...
متن کاملA primer on probability theory in financial modeling
The objective of finance theory is to predict the future evolution of financial quantities, such as the price of a single asset or broad market movements. Uncertainty as to the future evolution of prices is a fundamental tenet of modern finance theory. The paradigm of choice for modeling uncertainty in finance is the probability theory. This tutorial presents the formal probabilistic concepts b...
