Summary of Probability and Statistics for Machine Learning (Machine Learning Foundations) LiveLessons
Course prerequisites:
Mathematics: Familiarity with secondary school-level mathematics will make it easier for you to follow along with the class. If you are comfortable dealing with quantitative information–such as understanding charts and rearranging simple equations–then you should be well-prepared to follow along with all of the mathematics.
Programming: All code demos will be in Python so experience with it or another object-oriented programming language would be helpful for following along with the hands-on examples.
