Bayes' Theorem is a fundamental concept in data science.

But it took me 2 years to understand its importance.

In 2 minutes, I'll share my best findings over the last 2 years exploring Bayesian Statistics. Let's go. Image
1. Background:

"An Essay towards solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances," was published in 1763, two years after Bayes' death. In this essay, Bayes addressed the problem of inverse probability, which is the basis of what is now known as Bayesian probability.
2. Bayes' Theorem:

Bayes' Theorem provides a mathematical formula to update the probability for a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available. It describes how to revise existing predictions or theories in light of new evidence, a process known as Bayesian inference.

Top 7 most important statistical analysis concepts that have helped me as a Data Scientist.

This is a complete 7-step beginner ROADMAP for learning stats for data science. Let's go: Image
Step 1: Learn These Descriptive Statistics

Mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation. Used to summarize data and spot variability. These are key for any data scientist to understand what’s in front of them in their data sets. Image
2. Learn Probability

Know your distributions (Normal, Binomial) & Bayes’ Theorem. The backbone of modeling and reasoning under uncertainty. Central Limit Theorem is a must too. Image

Type 1 and Type 2 errors are confusing. In 3 minutes, I'll demolish your confusion. Let's dive in. 🧵 Image
1. Type 1 Error (False Positive):

This occurs when the pregnancy test tells Tom, the man, that he is pregnant. Obviously, Tom cannot be pregnant, so this result is a false alarm. In statistical terms, it's detecting an effect (in this case, pregnancy) when it actually doesn't exist.
2. Type 2 Error (False Negative):

This happens when Lisa, who is actually pregnant, takes the test, and it tells her that she's not pregnant. The test failed to detect the real condition of pregnancy. In statistical terms, it's failing to detect a real effect (pregnancy) that is there.

6 statistical methods that can be used for A/B Testing (and when to use them). Image
A/B Testing is a staple of data science and data analyst interviews.

And it's the Number 1 technique that companies benefit from in improving customer revenue.

So here are 6 of the most common stat methods used in A/B testing.
1. Z-Test (Standard Score Test):

Ideal for large sample sizes (typically over 30) and when the population variance is known.

Compares the mean of two groups to see if they are different from each other.

Often used in conversion rate optimization, click-through rates. Image

Understanding P-Values is essential for improving regression models.

In 2 minutes, I'll crush your confusion.

Let's go: Image
1. The p-value:

A p-value in statistics is a measure used to assess the strength of the evidence against a null hypothesis. Image
2. Null Hypothesis (H₀):

The null hypothesis is the default position that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena or no association among groups. For example, under H₀, the regressor does not affect the outcome. Image
