Introduces statistical inference concepts, focusing on parameter estimation, unbiased estimators, and mean estimation using independent random variables.
Explores linear regression from a statistical inference perspective, covering probabilistic models, ground truth, labels, and maximum likelihood estimators.
Explores the consistency and asymptotic properties of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator, including challenges in proving its consistency and constructing MLE-like estimators.
Explores the Stein Phenomenon, showcasing the benefits of bias in high-dimensional statistics and the superiority of the James-Stein Estimator over the Maximum Likelihood Estimator.
