Exponential Family: Properties and Estimation

Description

This lecture covers the properties and estimation methods of exponential families, focusing on common characteristics and nice properties. It explains the concept of exponential families, their likelihood functions, and the process of parameter estimation. The lecture also delves into Bernoulli distributions, their priors, and the process of parameter estimation in maximum likelihood. Additionally, it discusses the concept of maximum entropy distributions and their relation to information geometry. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding the constraints and criteria for choosing appropriate distributions in statistical modeling.
