Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - Mathematical Derivations for Math Lovers (Optional): Bi

The video tutorial covers the concept of combinatorics, focusing on N choose K and permutations. It introduces the binomial random variable and explains Bernoulli trials, detailing how to calculate the probability of K successes in N trials. The tutorial models success and failure using bit strings and discusses combinatorial counting. It derives the probability mass function (PMF) for the binomial distribution using basic combinatorial concepts. The video concludes with a preview of the next topic, logistic regression and gradient descent.
