it's a very celebrated result in statistics you should be familiar with it

please explain the difference
i'm interested but i dont understand

congrats
double up in math and remember to take advantage of seattle and do an internship

>doing machine learning without understanding stats
hello brainlet

>falling for the machine learning meme
>settling for 80% accuracy because your shitty ad-hoc model is to stupid too learn better
uh? lmoa @ u

How is Bertsekas "introduction to probability"

My disappointment is not because undergrads try and struggle to understand some of the fundamental concepts, it's that they don't try at all. To truly understand statistics you have to work with some math, but these days lower undergrad courses are a requirement for many majors. A good number of students are non-STEM focused and they would rather not work with the basic of math concepts whatsoever, but still have the gall to try for a stats minor.

I think the best way for an undergrad to gain a real understanding of the subject is to take the intermediate undergrad course where they teach change of variables, moment generating functions, and basic convergence in probability and weak convergence, and other fundamental stuff. Most of the aforementioned people never do.
