The sign of a good teacher--I landed here by accident, stayed for the entire lecture, and understood all of it...
This is a true teacher. He actually explains the concepts instead of just scribbling equations on the board.
Couldn't agree more. I am hooked.
Why MIT is a top school. I love that MIT allows anyone to watch these for free.
COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!! He is truly amazing. Suddenly the Stats I did on a Data Science Coursera course start to make sense. A couple of more lectures by him and I will have everything sorted out in my mind... My God. Some lecturers just Got it and some just Don't.
I wonder how much time and effort was made to ensure every word was meaningful and carefully stated (just been through a course with a lecturer who knew his stuff but mostly winged it which was one of the biggest wastes of my time). I also noticed not a single 'um' or 'uh' which is amazing.
@@benphua Well, I noticed four "ums" or "uhs" in second 0:35 to 0:45 alone, but I agree the lecture is very clear.
*My takeaways:*
1. History of Monte Carlo Simulation 0:56
2. Monte Carlo Simulation 3:23
- Example1: coins 6:03
- Variance 10:00

6. Quantifying variation in data: variance and standard deviation 30:14
- Always think about standard deviation in the context of mean 35:10
7. Confidence level and intervals 36:00
8. Empirical rule for computing confidence intervals 39:27
9. Assumptions underlying empirical rule 43:40
- mean estimation error is 0
- Normal distribution
10. Probability density function 46:25
thank you Mr. Lei
Dr. Mohamed Ait Nouh you’re welcome :)
Thanks Mr. Lel
Pajeet Singh you’re welcome
Thank you Mr. Lei
I've never met him, but he taught me python years ago.
we should be grateful for such giving human beings.
Not what I was looking for, but couldn't help but watch the entire video. Well done sir.
same
The same!
I love random walks through youtube
wanted to know what a monte carlo simulation is but I guess ill revise some stats intuition ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@GaoyuanFanboy123 hahaah same xD
Some of the best explanations of statistics I’ve heard. Does a great job of breaking down concepts.
This guy is such a fantastic teacher. I would love to have him in person, thanks again for uploading the video!
Have him for ... breakfast?
@@zZE94 Ken really sounded weird ahahahha
He prolly would love have you in person too, for sure.
At the university where I studied all teachers were also fantastic teachers until the exam. Afterwards they were all a**h****.
Brilliant lecture. I can binge watch Professor John Guttag's lectures. Amazing.
Watching Prof. Guttah teaching is a joy. A true inspiration for those of us who also like teaching and want to do better
What a beautiful way to explain a concept. Starts with something so simple and gradually builds up to the more complex part, also delivers the lecture in a way that even a tiny bit of boredom can't creep in.
I came here for the Monte Carlo simulation but got unexpectedly thus far the best explanation for simple concepts like Variance or Standard Deviation
For those looking for some visuals of how a Monte Carlo simulation works, see the second half or so of lecture 7 on Confidence Intervals.
MVP
Thanks a lot, that was what I was looking for!
Which playlist??
this man right here is a true teacher, understands the subject topic deeply and speaks passionately
00:00 Monte Carlo simulation is a method of estimating unknown quantities using inferential statistics.
06:48 Variance affects confidence in probability predictions
13:09 Law of large numbers: Expected return of fair roulette wheel is 0 over infinite spins
19:23 Understanding the Gambler's Fallacy and Regression to the Mean
25:16 Regression to the mean is a statistical phenomenon where extreme events tend to move towards the average with more samples.
31:11 Understanding variance and standard deviation for computing confidence intervals.
37:37 Understanding confidence intervals and the empirical rule
44:04 Probability distributions can be discrete or continuous, and are described by probability density functions.
Crafted by Merlin AI.
Isn't he the most adorable teacher ever?
Great job walking your audience through the material!
Thank you for this great lecture. You explain it so well. I was looking for Monte Carlo Simulation but ended up watching the whole video.
Thank you for share this amazing video
Excellent lecture. Prof. Guttag is a great teacher. Thank you.
Every course or lecture I have watched in this MIT Open Courseware has been superb. Thank you to the teachers and to MIT for posting.
Great teaching style. Small number of teachers can teach such concise and clarify. I learn a lot from the great educators.
Had this same lecture in PSYCH Stats class at CofC. Learned a lot and this was fun to watch again
such respect for these fantastic teachers
An instructor of the highest caliber; clear explanations, projects a seemingly universal likeable and fair personality, low intensity approach. Good hire MIT!
26:53 Great answer to make the difference between gambler's fallacy and regression to the mean clear!
WANTED MORE ABOUT MONTE CARLO, but he is such an amazing teacher that I got stuck anyways!!!!
Thanks for sharing this video. Concepts very well explained and accessible. Thank you.
For those that may be confused, he misspoke at 23:36 "taller than average" should have been "taller than the parents". In the case that parents are shorter than average, it is expected that their children will be taller than them, not taller than average.
he is so funny, i wish i had such professors
Actually you are an amazing demonstrator
Wonderful professor. So casual but I believe what the students learn will stick with them forever.
Extremely Based series of lectures. Top tier professor!
i love you sir. you are a great teacher.
The best way to explain variance formula!
Great lecture. The concepts were explained clearly. I understood them very well. Thank you!
Wow... fantastic lecture by Prof. Guttag... Thank you and congratulations.
Thank you Prof. Guttag & MIT.
Excellent presentation. Don't know why RUclips presented the option of the video, but watched until the end. Very gifted professor. The only thing that I can think to improve it is to repeat the question from the audience so that the question is picked up on the recording.
great video, such a clean delivery of the concepts. well done
I love these old school professors. They are true masters.
Thanks for addressing the apparent contradiction of the Gambler's Fallacy vs Regression to the Mean ~25:00 in. I'd always thought these 2 were in opposition, but guess I'd never heard (or thought of it) in the right frame of reference.
Thank you professor Guttag. Fantastic lecture and explanations.
Hayatımdaki en iyi üniversite dersiydi.Thanks Prof J. Guttag
Thanks you for being a great teacher. I really needed some background on Montecarlo.
I love the sense of humour of the instructor. A great lecture indeed!
Thanks for this video. Amazing explanation!
This is the best lecture I have ever seen on statistics. It wasn't even what I was looking for but couldn't take my eyes off it till the end. Thank you Professor! Thank you MIT!
The explanation is clear, his lecture is great!
What a great teacher. Absolutely loved it
I love professors who make mistakes and make corrections accepting help from students.
Should of done better in highschool and went to MIT. This is great. A true teacher
Fortunate to find his video !! A legend I was looking for !!❤️❤️❤️
Love your Data Table hack at 2'. Thank you for that!
Unfortunately, during my studies at Bachelor and Master, I never had such great real professor. Thanks so much for sharing such great video.
He is such a great teacher on multiple topics. After this course I plan to finally take Linear Allgebra.
Professor, your lecture was engaging. Thank you.
I really love the teachers at MIT. I have watched a ton of lectures from them and all have been great
Lies again? Support Indonesia Malaysia
Suddenly the Stats I did on a Data Science Coursera course start to make sense. A couple of more lectures by him and I will have everything sorted out in my mind... My God. Some lecturers just Got it and some just Don't.
Thank you Professor Guttag and thank you late Stanislaw Ulam.
I am so grateful of your explanation
Thank you! Amazing teacher.
I give this professor two thumbs up. I like his style. Good presentation also. A hardy bravo zulo to the man.
What a treat to watch him teach! :) Hats off!!
Makes even high level material understandable to a neophyte. That's the mark of a skilled educator.
Thats the best lecture I have ever seen.
After watching this lecture, I wish I was smart enough to get into such elite schools and be taught by such passionate teachers.
Respect!
But you have access to MIT open courseware
12:47 "win some lose some, it's all the same to me"
Lemmy
Beautifully done.
Finally understood what statistics is about after 10 years of endeavour! Thanks so much!
Trying applying it to obtain Lebsegue Integral. See, you probably have understood nothing.
Kasra Keshavarz your face shows how stupid you are
Howard Lam. It is “Lebesgue”
Very interesting lecture, was planning on skimming it and watching small sections but I watched the whole thing without noticing the time passing!
Thank you Eric.
take care professor and thank you for lecture
This professor is incredible!
Adorei a aula, excelente!
Amazing explanation
Very good introduction of how the e-Pi-i conception of probabilistic Calculus by Pi circularity numberness/orbital is a dualistic +/- possible Infinite Sum, Normal/orthogonal self-defining "e", metastable +/- singularity convergence to zero difference, balance of frequency constants in Totality.
He is the best! Such a pleasure and luck to be able to access this lecture.
Hint: Playing on 1.25 speed is ideal for this video.
Thanks. :))
2x for engineering students in south asia
For an foreign student from germany like me - 1.0 speed is good. But for all native english speakers i think he speaks quite slow.
But 1.0 speed is too good.
pro-tip, mate. Thx for the time back.
My big interest is Monte Carlo simulation and Markov chain!!!
I feel like I with no prior knowledge just intuitively already understand all of this and use it in daily life. Cool to hear it's basis though and a more technical presentation
Thank you for sharing the knowledge...
I was excited for this one
Genius teacher! Just so intuitive!! Wowwwww
Ok, he is really good 33:45, how I hoped to have a prof. like him back in college.
that is amazing
I am the Great Canadian Gambler and can attest that my biggest two 6.2 Standard Deviation swings ever were back to back. Same in my early years when I played Craps to get the free junket to the casinos. Biggest win followed by biggest loss. I note that because I heard poker champ Daniel Negreanu mention the same back-to-back phenomenon. Always believed in the odds but back-to-back streaks leave an eerie feeling.
Thanks for this video, very easy to understand
Thank you , professors.
what a wonderful teacher!! he teaches how to teach
Great lecturer! Amazing!
Excellent lecture
love this teacher .. gold bless ..............
39.07 That a result will lie within an interval with probability 95% doesn't mean it will be within that interval 95% of the time. Probability cannot be directly translated into percent of times.
one of the best!!!
Oh my God, I've got it now in detail. I took a semester course in Bayesian theory and treated this topic, I had to write a report at the end of the semester on it. It was a hell :-), I'm glad to refresh my memory about this topic here again. Thanks a lot, Sir!
proper: denoting a subset or subgroup that does not constitute the entire set or group, especially one that has more than one element.
this is a concept everyone in research has to know. Amazing teacher explains the history and concept in a nice way. Great teacher
This guy is an awesome guy
Concept well explained
I had so much more fun learning the subject with Dr. Guttag than my uni professor.
Thanks!!! amazing lecture!
The true meaning of the teacher!
