    Dude. This video is everything. I'm a visual learner and this one video has helped me understand this concept better than years of statistics study and multiple textbooks. Thank you!

      100% agree although slight correction is that the visual, kinesthetic, etc types of learners are a myth and has been debunked. The reason we can understand it well now because the teacher is a good teacher and know how to explain the concepts intuitively. Hehe sorry for being picky, just wanna correct the misconception

      An easy visual method to prove this statement is to observe y=x^2 graph. Starting anywhere on the graph, moving 2 points (1 left, 1 right) the same distance left and right (to keep the mean the same) on x-axis causes a larger increase in y and smaller decrease in y (works no matter you start at x>0 or x

    Amazing video. Adding to it, 8:55 you need not to do Average Squared "Distance", you may easily get it by Actual(u2)-Standard(u2), which in your case is (229.8)-(225)=4.8 .
    Amazing Explanation. Thanks.

    Please do go into the excruciating derivations of second & third moments- both sample and population! In the SAMPLE third moment for example, it makes sense algebraically that (n-1)(n-2) factors out, but since when is n-2 make sense with regards to degrees of freedom? So on with the 4th moment?

    To achieve the purpose of "netting out the effect of the previous moment" come up as a subtraction of the first moment, but in subsequent moments, netting out the previous moment comes up as dividing by the standard deviation to the corresponding power?

    If there is df = n-1 for variance because of population mean, and df = n-2 for skewness because of population mean and variance, so why there is df = n-3 when you calculate kurtosis? what is the population parameter we account for?

    At 3.28, you said add 12+14+17+18 and divide by 5 to get the mean, but if you do so you get the mean as 12, if you divide by 4 you get the mean as 15 , so which one is correct?

    This is awesome. An actually understandable explanation. This has really helped me think through the physical meaning of moments.
    I'm wondering though, how you get decimal moments? In cloud physics a particle size distribution can be described with moments, and e.g. mass-weighted particle fall speed is proportional to M3.5 - but what does that actually represent physically?

    Why don't we have a centered first moment if all others are centered ?

    • @Merione
      @Merione 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Because the first moment is centered on 0. Notice how all the other centered formulas have the value x MINUS the mean. That's what "centering" means: by taking away the mean, you recalibrate, or in other words "center", the formula around the mean. Intuitively, it's like shifting the whole set of axes to have the mean as your new origin point. The first moment, instead, is special because it's the formula for the mean itself, so you don't have it yet, but you still need a reference point to "center" the formula. And that reference point is 0: again, take x MINUS the reference point, which in this case is still x (x-0=x). Why 0? No reason in particular, that's just the number we chose to have as our origin point because it makes the calculations easier.

  • @Undercover_FE
    @Undercover_FE ปีที่แล้ว

    I have to say that the use of distance here is probably not the best. If you include a negative number in your notion, your concept falls apart. Recall that it is exactly because of the issue we have with negative deviations that we have interference with our variance calculation, which is why we take squares or use abs value. We are more interested in the average POSITION of the data on the number line, rather than distance which would involve Abs Value function. In this case, the first moment is finding the Center of Mass to the data set. This is why everything balances out when we do Sigma(x - xbar) because we are referencing the center of mass. That's why the moments are called centered. For the Variance, we find the average area of squares given by deviations from the mean. We take those negative deviations and have them generate a positive area, then add up all of those areas. When we divide by n we are saying that each data point on average contributes s^2 to the total area. The sqrt gives the length of the leg, s, of this avg square.
