4 weeks back I had no idea what is machine learning, but your videos have really made a difference in my life, they are all so clearly explained and fun to watch, I just got a job and I mentioned some of the learnings I had from your channel, I am grateful for your contribution in my life.
Im at the point where my syllabus does not require me to look into all of this but im just having too much fun learning with you. Im glad i took this course up to find your videos
This is by far my favorite educational TH-cam channel. Everything is explained in a simple, practical and fun way. The videos are full of positive vibes just from the beginning with the silly song entry. I love the catch phrases. Statquest is addictive!
Thank you Josh. You deserve all the praises. I have been struggling with a lot of the concepts on traditional classic text books as they tend to "jump" quite a lot. You channel brings all of them to life vividly. This is my go to reference source now.
WOOOOOOW. I watched every video of yours, recommended in the description of this video, and now this video. Everything makes much more sense now. It helped me a lot to undersand the Gaussian Naive Bayes algorithm implemented and available from scikit-learn for applications in machine learning. Just awesome. Thank you!!!
I am a beginner in Machine Learning field, and your channel helped me alot, almost went through all the videos, very nice way of explaining. Really appreciate you for making these videos and helping everyone. You just saved me ... Thank you very much...
It's amazing! Thank you so much ! Our professor let us self-teach the Gaussian naive bayes and I absolutely don't understand her slides with many many math equations. Thanks again for your vivid videos !!
Hi, Josh. Thank you so much for all the exceptional content from your channel. Your work is amazing. I'm a professor in Brazil of Computer Science and ML and your videos have been supporting me a lot. You're an inspiration for me. Best.
Thank you for the prompt response. I’m fairly new to Stats. But this video prompted me to do a lot more research and I’m finally confident on how you got to the result. Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful
This is crazy I went to school for Applied Mathematics and it never crossed my mind that what I learned was machine learning as chatgpt came into the lime light I started looking into it and almost everything I've learned so far is basically everything I've learned before but in a different context. My mind is just blown that I was assuming ML was something unattainable for me and it turns out I've been doing it for years
Daym, your videos are so good at explaining complicated ideas!! Like holy shoot, I am going to use this, multiple predictors ideas to figure out the ending of inception, Was it dream, or was it not a dream!
contents are excellent and also i love your intro quite a lot (its super impressive for me) btw. thanking for doing this at the fisrt place as a beginner some concepts are literally hard to understand but after watching your videos things are a lot better than before. Thanks :)
In Stats Playlist, we used following notation for P( Data | Model ) for probability & L(Model | Data) for likelihood; Here we are writing likelihood as L(popcorn=20 | Loves) which I guess L( Data | Model );
Unfortunately the notation is somewhat flexible and inconsistent - not just in my videos, but in the the field in general. The important thing is to know that likelihoods are always the y-axis values, and probabilities are the areas.
@@statquest understood; somewhere in the playlist you mentioned that likelihood is relative probability; and I guess this neatly summaries how likelihood and probability
@@statquest I think you should explain some formula briefly. Like in Naive Bayes algorithm, you'd better explain why P(N)*P(Dear|N)*P(Friend|N)=P(N|Dear,Friend). I use GPT to finally understand it.
@@CyberGimen I've got a whole video about that here: th-cam.com/video/9wCnvr7Xw4E/w-d-xo.html However, the reason I don't mention it in this video is that it's actually not critical to using the method.
😅😅😅😅It's the "Shameless Self Promotion" for me... Thank you very much for this channel. Your videos are gold. The way you just know how to explain these hard concepts in a way that 5-year-olds can understand... To think that I just discovered this goldmine this week. God bless you😇
Can we also say that this person can be an outlier? Because of having very high likelihood of popcorn and soda pop scores given that he likes troll 2 and only but high variance according to 3rd category we can also say consider him under the outlier category, can't we? Can you clear this doubt for me, please! And also thanks a lot for your effort and work..
Maybe. It depends on how much data we have in the training dataset - because that will define how confident we are that we have correctly modeled the two categories.
@@statquest Yes! If the training dataset contains a good enough number of data then we can calculate the margin of error too at various confidence levels with the given sample size and present our output. Thank you!
Glad you liked it. It's a new feature that TH-cam just rolled out so I've spent the past day (and will spend the next few days) adding it to my videos.
Great style of teaching & also thank you so much for such a great video (Note : I have bought your book "The StatQuest illustrated guide to machine learning") 😃
Hey Josh I hope you are having a wonderful day, I was searching for a video on " Gaussian mixture model " on your channel but couldn't find one, I have a request for that video since the concept is a bit complicated elsewhere Also btw your videos enabled to get one of the highest scores in the test conducted recently in my college, all thanks to you Josh, you are awesome
These videos are extremely valuable, thank you for sharing them. I feel that they really help to illuminate the material. Quick question though: where do you get the different probabilities, like for popcorn, soda pop, and candy? How do we calculate those in this context? Do you use the soda a person drinks and divide it by the total soda, and same with popcorn, and candy?
What time point are you asking about (in minutes and seconds). The only probabilities we use in this video are if someone loves or doesn't love troll 2. Everything else is a likelihood, which is just a y-axis coordinate.
A really comprehensive video. Thank you! Sir, I have some questions about the conditions when applying this algo: 1. Is it compulsory that all features contain continuous value? 2. What happens if a feature doesn't have gaussian distribution? Is it worth to apply this algo? 3. If that, I will find a function that makes that feature have gaussian distribution. Can it work? And also, Do u plan to do a video about Bernoulli Naive Bayes?
1. No - you can mix things up. I illustrate this in my book. 2. You can use other distributions 3. No need, just use the other distribution. 4. Not in the short term.
Josh. I love you your videos. I've been following your channel for a while. Your videos are absolutely great! Would you consider covering more of Bayesian statistics in the future?
Thanks for the great video! I would just like to point out that in my opinion if you are talking about log() when the base is e, it is easier (and more correct) to write ln().
Josh, a question about the formulation of Bayes' Theorem, especially considering the likelihood. For Naive Bayes, the formula is: P(class | X) = P(class) * P(X | class), in which the last term. is the likelihood In your video, you represented the likelihood as L, so that, apparently, the formula would be: P(No Love | X) = P(No Love) * L(X | No Love) (1) Is my assumption correct? Is it just a change of letters to mean the same thing? (2) Or is there any other math under the hoods? For example, something like: P(X | class) = L(No Love | X) Thanks in advance.
When I use the notation "L(something)" for "likelihood", I mean that we want the corresponding y-axis coordinate for that something. However, not everyone uses that notation. Some put p(something) and you have to figure out from the context whether or not they are talking about a likelihood (y-axis coordinate) or, potentially, a probability (since "p" often refers to "probability"). So, if you use my notation, then you are correct, you get: P(No Love | X) = P(No Love) * L(X | No Love)
Great work ! In 8:11 How can we use cross validation with Gaussian Naive Bayes? I have watched the Cross validation video but I still can't figure out how to employ cross validation to know that candy can make the best classification.
to apply cross validation, we divide the training data into different groups - then we use all of the groups, minus 1, to create a gaussian naive bayes model. Then we use that model to make predictions based on the last group. Then we repeat, each time using a different group to test the model.
3:38, shouldn’t the notation be L(Loves | popcorn=20), since we’re given that he eats 20g of popcorn, how likely is that sample generated from the Loves distribution. Isn’t that right?
A nice video on Gaussian Naive Bayes Classification model. Well done! But I have a quick question for you, Josh. I only understand that Lim ln(x) as x approaches o is negative infinity. How is the Natural log of a really small unknown number very close to zero assumed to be equal to -115 and -33.6 as in the case of L(candy=25|Love Troll 2) and L(popcorn=20|does not Love Troll 2) respectively? What measure was used to determine these values?
Dear Mr. Josh, I have taken another course have the following equation for the probability of Naive Bayes, P( Loves Troll 2 | new data ) = [ P( new data | Loves Troll 2 ) * P( Loves Troll 2 ) ] / P( new data) P( new data ) called marginal likelihood, and P( new data | Loves Troll 2 ) called likelihood And then, the way to calculate marginal likelihood and likelihood is to calculate the probability nearby the data at a certain distance, and the distance is adjustable while you are building the algorithm. For instance, there is a circle in which the center is new data and you can adjust the radius if your data is 2-D data. After watching both courses, I am wondering how can these two equations be equivalent? I deeply appreciate your time for answering my question. Sincerely, Gavin
The marginal likelihood is often omitted because both p(Loves Troll 2 | data) and p(Does not love Troll 2 | data) are divided by it. In other words, the only thing that makes p(Loves Troll 2 | data) different from p(Does not love Troll 2 | data) is what is in the numerator. And because it is usually really hard to calculate the marginal likelihood, we just omit it because it will not change the results.
Hey JOSH Thanks for making such amazing video. Keep up the work. I just have a quick question if you don't mind. I can't understand how you got the likelihood eg: L(soda = 500 | LOVES) how you calculating that value.
We plugged the mean and standard deviation of soda pot for people that loved Troll2 into the equation for a normal curve and then determined the y-axis coordinate when the x-axis value = 500.
Hello! Does it matter if the data in one of the columns (say popcorn) is not normally distributed? Or should the assumption be that we will have a large enough sample size to use the central limit theorem? Thanks for all of your videos! I love them and can’t wait for your book to be delivered (just ordered it yesterday).
It doesn't matter how the data are distributed. As long as we can calculate the likelihoods, we are good to go. BAM! :) And thank you so much for supporting StatQuest!!! TRIPLE BAM!!! :)
Hi, I really like your videos. But I don't quite understand why you used likehood L instead of calculating the area under the graph by finding the probability
We use likelihood because the probability of observing a specific event, like someone eating 24.3 grams of popcorn, is 0. So if we used probabilities, we'd just be multiplying a bunch of 0s together and getting 0 as the output. Why is the probability of observing a specific event 0? Because the area under the curve from 24.3 to 24.3 is 0 (it's a rectangle with 0 width).
Hi, in your P("dear" / Normal) use case, your answer was 8/17 (number of occurrences of the word "dear" in normal messages / total words in normal messages) . If we go with the traditional formula, P("dear" | Normal) = P("dear" and Normal) / P(Normal) = 8/17/8/12 = 0.70. Could you kindly clarify why the traditional formula did not apply here please?
Hi - another great explanation! I wonder what would be the result if you normalise the probabilies of the 3 values. - Would it affect the outcome of the example in this video? - Which areas of values are affected: different outcomes with non-normalised and normalised distributions (=probability or likelihood here)?
@@statquest Hi, that only make sense with real data. Without that, only juggling with equations and abstract parameters, the thing is not enough 'visual', IMO. Though, could run through the calculations with e.g. 2x scale, 10x scale and 100x scale... Maybe, when I have free few hours.
Thanks for this super clear explanation. Why would we prefer this method for classification over a gradient boosting algorithm? When we have too few samples?
Then if the data have both discrete and continuous feature, we can use Naive Bayes (for discrete one in other video) and Gaussian Naive Bayes together to classify the data.
So, Gaussian NB is the same as NB, except that instead of calculating likelihoods from simple counting, we fit a Gaussian distribution over the features?

I would just like to point out that in my opinion if you are talking about log() when the base is e, it is easier (and more correct) to write ln().

Great work ! In 8:11 How can we use cross validation with Gaussian Naive Bayes? I have watched the Cross validation video but I still can't figure out how to employ cross validation to know that candy can make the best classification.
to apply cross validation, we divide the training data into different groups - then we use all of the groups, minus 1, to create a gaussian naive bayes model. Then we use that model to make predictions based on the last group. Then we repeat, each time using a different group to test the model.
Awesome as always
Thanks again! :)
3:38, shouldn’t the notation be L(Loves | popcorn=20), since we’re given that he eats 20g of popcorn, how likely is that sample generated from the Loves distribution. Isn’t that right?
The notation in the video is most common, however, the notation doesn't really matter as long as it is clear that we want the y-axis coordinate.
Hey Josh, Thank you for making these amazing videos. Please make a video on the "Bayesian Networks" too.
I'll keep it in mind.
A nice video on Gaussian Naive Bayes Classification model. Well done! But I have a quick question for you, Josh. I only understand that Lim ln(x) as x approaches o is negative infinity. How is the Natural log of a really small unknown number very close to zero assumed to be equal to -115 and -33.6 as in the case of L(candy=25|Love Troll 2) and L(popcorn=20|does not Love Troll 2) respectively? What measure was used to determine these values?
log(1.1*10^-50) = -115 and log(2.5*10^-15) = -33.6
BAM! Someone is going to pass the exam this semester .
Hooray!
Can you talk about Kernel estimation in the future?? Bam!
I will consider it.
Dear Mr. Josh,
I have taken another course have the following equation for the probability of Naive Bayes,
P( Loves Troll 2 | new data ) = [ P( new data | Loves Troll 2 ) * P( Loves Troll 2 ) ] / P( new data)
P( new data ) called marginal likelihood,
and P( new data | Loves Troll 2 ) called likelihood
And then, the way to calculate marginal likelihood and likelihood is to calculate the probability nearby the data at a certain distance, and the distance is adjustable while you are building the algorithm. For instance, there is a circle in which the center is new data and you can adjust the radius if your data is 2-D data.
After watching both courses, I am wondering how can these two equations be equivalent?
I deeply appreciate your time for answering my question.
Sincerely,
Gavin
The marginal likelihood is often omitted because both p(Loves Troll 2 | data) and p(Does not love Troll 2 | data) are divided by it. In other words, the only thing that makes p(Loves Troll 2 | data) different from p(Does not love Troll 2 | data) is what is in the numerator. And because it is usually really hard to calculate the marginal likelihood, we just omit it because it will not change the results.
Hey JOSH Thanks for making such amazing video. Keep up the work. I just have a quick question if you don't mind.
I can't understand how you got the likelihood eg: L(soda = 500 | LOVES) how you calculating that value.
We plugged the mean and standard deviation of soda pot for people that loved Troll2 into the equation for a normal curve and then determined the y-axis coordinate when the x-axis value = 500.
BAM! thanks, Josh! It would be amazing if you can make a StatQuest concerning A/B testing :)

Hi, I really like your videos. But I don't quite understand why you used likehood L instead of calculating the area under the graph by finding the probability
We use likelihood because the probability of observing a specific event, like someone eating 24.3 grams of popcorn, is 0. So if we used probabilities, we'd just be multiplying a bunch of 0s together and getting 0 as the output. Why is the probability of observing a specific event 0? Because the area under the curve from 24.3 to 24.3 is 0 (it's a rectangle with 0 width).
Thanks for the awesome video..
You bet!
Hi, in your P("dear" / Normal) use case, your answer was 8/17 (number of occurrences of the word "dear" in normal messages / total words in normal messages) . If we go with the traditional formula, P("dear" | Normal) = P("dear" and Normal) / P(Normal) = 8/17/8/12 = 0.70. Could you kindly clarify why the traditional formula did not apply here please?
What time point in this video, minutes and seconds, are you asking about?
I dont even know why there is people disliking this video!!
It's always a mystery. :)
Hi - another great explanation!
I wonder what would be the result if you normalise the probabilies of the 3 values.
- Would it affect the outcome of the example in this video?
- Which areas of values are affected: different outcomes with non-normalised and normalised distributions (=probability or likelihood here)?
Interesting questions! You should try it out and see what you get.
@@statquest Hi, that only make sense with real data. Without that, only juggling with equations and abstract parameters, the thing is not enough 'visual', IMO. Though, could run through the calculations with e.g. 2x scale, 10x scale and 100x scale... Maybe, when I have free few hours.
Could you please make a video on Time Series Analysis (Arima model)?
One day I'll do that.
Imagine eating candy makes you hate a movie so badly lol
:)
Hi Josh, could you plz make a video on Gaussian Mixture Model and Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Model?
I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks for this super clear explanation. Why would we prefer this method for classification over a gradient boosting algorithm? When we have too few samples?
With relatively small datasets it's simple and fast and super lightweight.
Can we use logistic regression too to predict if a person loves the movie or not?
Yes
Then if the data have both discrete and continuous feature, we can use Naive Bayes (for discrete one in other video) and Gaussian Naive Bayes together to classify the data.
Yes
Thanks for the awesome explanation. But I've a question. Is GNB can be used for sentiment analysis?
Presumably you could use GNB, but I also know that normal NB (aka multinomial naive bayes) is used for sentiment analysis.
So, Gaussian NB is the same as NB, except that instead of calculating likelihoods from simple counting, we fit a Gaussian distribution over the features?
yep
So we use Gaussian when ALL our features are continuous and multinomial when ALL our features are categorical?
You can mix them by multiplying the different likelihoods. For more details, see: sebastianraschka.com/faq/docs/naive-bayes-vartypes.html
