Covariance

  • $ COV(X,Y)=E[(X-E[X])(Y-E[Y])]\! $
  • $ COV(X,Y)=E[XY]-E[X]E[Y]\! $

Correlation Coefficient

Markov Inequality

Loosely speaking: In a nonnegative RV has a small mean, then the probability that it takes a large value must also be small.

  • $ P(X \geq a) \leq E[X]/a\! $

for all a > 0

Chebyshev Inequality

ML Estimation Rule

MAP Estimation Rule

Bias of an Estimator, and Unbiased estimators
