When diving into the world of statistics, you’ll frequently come across the term “measures of central tendency”. But what exactly does it mean, and why is it so important? Let’s break it down, step by step, with practical examples to drive the point home. In this blog post we will learn: What Are Measures of …
Probability, as a concept, plays an instrumental role in the world of data science. When we talk about probability, we’re essentially talking about quantifying the uncertainty or the chance of an event occurring. One term that often finds its way in probability is ‘odds’. Odds can be somewhat counterintuitive, especially for those who are familiar …

Let’s understand the formula for the linear regression coefficients. That is the formula for both alpha and the beta. Now, if you have simple linear regression that does, you have just 1x variable in your data, you will be able to compute the values of alpha and beta using this formula. Let’s suppose you …
What is Partial Correlation and it’s purpose Partial correlation is used to find the correlation between two variables (typically a dependent and an independent variable) with the effect of other influencing variables being controlled. For example, if there are three variables ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘Z’, If you want to find the relationship between ‘A’ and ‘B’ …
What is chi-square test and its purpose? Chi-square test was invented in the year ‘1900’ by the revered mathematician ‘Karl Pearson’. Chi-square test, also written as χ2 test is used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the observed frequency and the expected frequency in one or more categories of the contingency …
