      +Amanda Darby because professors are not really there to teach, their actual job is to do research but they also teach on the side, they don't have an education degree. but Sal teaches better than majority of high school teachers who have education degrees :/

    • @blownspeakersss
      @blownspeakersss 7 лет назад +7

      +Slacker1221 That's not how it works. Virtually no professors have education degrees. As the previous person said, professors are supposed to be experts in their fields--not "teachers" per se. Like, at university, an actual economist (whose job it is to do academic research) will teach you economics, not an economics teacher. Ditto with any other subject.

      Yea, ironic that college costs increase when you can get at least 60 percent of your knowledge from the Internet, probably more. College costs should be going DOWN, not up. what a racket!

      The availability of information on the internet is pretty much unrelated to college costs.

      Yet Sal's opposition's best attack on khan's credibility is that they disagree with his definition of slope. Khan Academy, The Organic Chemistry Tutor, mathbff, and patrickjmt can literally fetch you a 3.9 to 4.0 gpa (university), unlike their live counterparts.

    The standard formula requires that all of the samples be involved in each new calculation. This is a very inefficient use of computational power and memory, but with above formula, running tally is kept while moving through the signal. This is good for microprocessor or FPGA in DSP design.

    Note that the derived forms will only work for calculating population variance and not sample variance since you wouldn't be able to substitute the arithmetic mean one of the expanded polynomial terms; I had to learn this the hard way.

    mu squared times the sum of ones in the numerator comes from the fact that you add mu squared N times, which is simply Nmu**2. After you square the original variance numerator you need to sum each of the three terms from 1 to N. Hope this helps.

And I also have the: Unbiased estimate of Var(X (bar)) = s^2/n (1-n/N). My problem is mainly that I don't understand what Var(X bar) means (I cannot write a bar over X on youtube comment).

  • @chetankv7218
    @chetankv7218 7 лет назад

    Hi,
    I have tried to still deduce variance formula, however seems i am seeing there is an issue in this deduction.
    Could you please help me understand it
    Currently we have below equation
    variance= sum(xi)^2/N - mean^2
    what i did was for the first part sum(xi)^2/N i multiplied and divide by 'N', so it looked something like below:
    N*sum(xi)^2/N^2 --> N* (sum(xi)/N)^2 --> sum(xi)/N is mean formula
    So,
    Variance = (N* mean^2) - mean^2 --> i took mean^2 as a common term
    Variance = (N-1) mean^2 --> this formula seems to be not giving the result i want

    • @LegoEddy
      @LegoEddy 6 лет назад

      Hey, I hope this answer still helps you out:
      You have to watch out whether you compute sum(xi^2) or sum(xi)^2, because they are not the same. That means that you have to start with variance= sum(xi^2)/N - mean^2, and then you will not be able to transform the first term into the mean formula.

    • @amber1862
      @amber1862 7 лет назад +13

      tushar modi You've probably figured it out by now, but just in case someone's reading this and thinking the same; a lot of statistics is done algorithmically using computers, so working out the variance with the new ways presented in this video could potentially reduce the time it takes to calculate the variance with a computer, and if you're dealing with a huge amount of data, that's significant. When you write computer code, sometimes you have to write more 'messy' code upfront to actually force the computer to perform less calculations by doing it in the exact order you told it to, making the program more efficient. Computers don't care about messy code, all they care about is instructions and the order of said instructions.

  • @chaosui3169

    This tells var(x)=E[x^2]-E[x]^2

    • @DogeMcShiba
      @DogeMcShiba 5 лет назад +1

      Indeed. To anyone reading this, E[x] is called the "expected value" of a sample/population, which is pretty much the equivalent of the mean. It's essentially just a shorter way of writing it instead of all the Sigma signs and such, since you can write e.g. E[x^2] which is the mean of the data points squared.

  • @dman22180
    @dman22180 12 лет назад

    No he didn't; he simplified it from Sum(M^2) from i=1 to N, which (from summation rules) he brings out the constant to the front so: M^2*Sum(1) from i = 1, to N. Sum(1) from i=1 to N is just N (you have N 1s). So you get M^2*N/N ==> M^2
