Systematic updates of beliefs

Topics:

Among the topics are:
- Product ranking problem and its solution;
- Applying Bayes' Theorem in discrete set up many many many times;
- Revision of the continuous world facts and terms;
- Continuous Bayes' Theorem and how to digest it;
- More real-world applications, Beta distributions;
- Bayes + programming (you don't need to know it beforehand);
- Decision Making under uncertainty
- Optional "Python for Data Analysis" introduction

Description:

This course starts with jumping straight into a real-world problem of ranking products/services/... From there we will dive into the whole idea of Systematically Updating beliefs using actually discrete probability tools. Then we will recall some continuous world definitions and get to a continuous version of the Bayes' Theorem. This is where things get significantly more challenging: the generalisation of the Bayes' theorem with its applications are not easy to digest. We will take things slowly, but don't expect it to be super easy. Moreover, we will even talk about the fundamental of making decisions under uncertainty which will practically lead to the very introduction of Machine Learning. The ideas and the whole set up presented in this course are ultra applicable.

Moreover, this course has two modes: "with Python" or "just maths". The former option has the same maths content as the second one, but adds an introduction to the popular basic Python tools on top of it.

Next group lessons:

Study together with a small group under a supervision of a top University student or a graduate. You can ask questions or check your solutions to the exercises throughout the duration of the course.
