wzchen / probability_cheatsheet Goto Github PK

I only see naive definition of probability in the cheatsheet, but maybe non-naive is more important? why left it out?

Hi, very nice work! Tahnk you.
I just wanted to point out that in v1.1.1, the pdf had a nice index of topics that has been lost in v2.0.

Is not something extremely important, but it I find it useful to navigate the cheatsheet.

The host - www.wzchen.com - linked to by the link http://www.wzchen.com/probability-cheatsheet/ seems expired.

I'm new to Github, have no idea how to edit things, ahhhhh but there is a typo here, someone should fix that.Thanks for the awesome resource!

The overview provided by the sampling table is great. But it could benefit if names (or perhaps symbol names) where added. The bottom-left cell is permutation, while bottom-right cell is combination (I often confuse the two). Names would also make it easier to then look-up the sampling methods (in book indices or search engines).

Hi there,
You define the PMF and CDF in each of these two consecutive sections: "Random Variables and their Distributions" and "Expected Value and Indicators" on page 1. It seems like it would suffice to place these only in the former section. Is this intentional?

Cheers,
Eliza

Hello:
Thanks a lot for publishing the source code. This allows each person to custom to their needs. Indeed, I was only looking for a distribution table, but in the end I handed almost everything else. I had to remove sutff that we do not cover, but also added other stuff that I consider important, or useful, and you may want to add too. I also removed references to R, but included references to python's scipy.stats.
I don't think a pull request is appropriate, since you won't like most of my changes. Is it fine if I just drop my source file here, and you grab whatever you like?

In the .tex "If Jeremy Lin makes 10 free throws and each one independently has a $\frac{3}{4}$ chance of getting in, then the number of free throws he makes is distributed \Bin($10,\frac{3}{4}$)."
should be If Jeremy Lin takes 10 free throws and each one independently has a $\frac{3}{4}$ chance of getting in, then the number of free throws he makes is distributed \Bin($10,\frac{3}{4}$).
