Explore the fundamentals of probability distributions through Python code in this 19-minute PyCon US talk by Eric J. Ma. Gain a solid understanding of probability distributions as objects in modeling contexts, learn about sampling from distributions, and demystify concepts like joint, conditional, and marginal distributions. Discover how probability distributions function as number generators and data models, understand the relationship between probability and area under curves, and grasp the distinction between probability density functions (PDF) and probability mass functions (PMF). By the end of this talk, acquire a working knowledge of probability to delve deeper into Bayesian statistics.
