== Probability and Statistics Operators == * Expected Value (E) ** Mean value of a random variable. *** Estimating outcomes, decision-making. * Variance (Var) ** Measure of how spread out the values in a data set are around the mean. *** Assessing risk, quantifying variability. * Standard Deviation (Ο or SD) ** Square root of the variance. *** Measuring dispersion, error bars in plots. * Probability (P) ** Measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. *** Assessing uncertainty, predicting outcomes. * Conditional Probability (P(A|B)) ** Probability of event A occurring given that event B has already occurred. *** Bayesian inference, probability trees. * Joint Probability (P(A β© B)) ** Probability of both events A and B occurring simultaneously. *** Probability distribution functions, contingency tables. * Marginal Probability (P(A)) ** Probability of a single event occurring regardless of other events. *** Summing joint probabilities, independence testing. * Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) ** Function that maps the probability of a random variable being less than or equal to a certain value. *** Probability distribution functions, hypothesis testing. * Probability Density Function (PDF) ** Function that describes the likelihood of a random variable taking on a particular value. *** Modeling continuous random variables, integration. * Covariance ** Measure of the joint variability of two random variables. *** Assessing correlation, portfolio management. * Correlation ** Measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two random variables. *** Analyzing relationships, predictive modeling.
