2 Essential Statistics
The better we understand our data, the better we can design a deep learning system that can make the most of that data.
By studying and analyzing the data we’re starting with, we can pick the best algorithms for learning from it. The ideas and tools that let us do this analysis are generally bundled together under the heading of statistics. Statistical ideas and language appear everywhere in machine learning, from papers and source code comments to library documentation.
In this chapter, we’ll cover the key statistical ideas essential to doing deep learning without delving into the math or details. The ideas fall ...
