The success rates of Cupid’s arrows

I advised a master’s student to use the binomial probability formula to determine the likelihood of attracting the affection of 15 girls, with Cupid’s success rate at 0.7. The analysis shows that the highest probability of success occurs when 10 girls reciprocate love, with a probability of 0.33.

Estimating the sparse inverse covariance matrix (precision matrix) by Graphical Lasso (with Python implementation)

Graphical Lasso, also known as GLasso, is a statistical technique used for estimating the sparse inverse covariance matrix (precision matrix) of a multivariate Gaussian distribution. Here, Sparsity means that many elements of the matrix are… Estimating the sparse inverse covariance matrix (precision matrix) by Graphical Lasso (with Python implementation)

Mutually exclusive events

Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur at the same time. In other words, the occurrence of one event excludes the occurrence of the other. Here are some examples:

Permutation

A permutation refers to the arrangement of objects in a specific order. The order of arrangement is important in permutation. A permutation let us know how many different ways a set or number of things… Permutation

Mathematical functions

A function in mathematics and computer science is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs. It assigns each input exactly one output. Functions can be simple or complex, depending… Mathematical functions

SVD for dimension reduction

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is a powerful matrix decomposition technique that generalizes the concept of eigenvalue decomposition to non-square matrices. Eigenvalue decomposition specifically decomposes a square matrix into its constituent eigenvalues and eigenvectors. This decomposition… SVD for dimension reduction
