Nonparametric GLMs & High Level Picture

This lecture covers the concept of nonparametric relationships in Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), extending models to more flexible dependencies and estimating unknown functions. It discusses the use of kernel estimators, bandwidth parameters, and smooth functions to estimate the relationship between variables. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding variability through probability and models, introducing randomness, events, and independent events. The lecture also delves into common distributions, moment generating functions, entropy, and mutual information to characterize distributions, as well as random vectors and multivariate transformations.
