November 6, 2018 -Turning probability into polynomials (Mark Huber, CMC)
Turning probability into polynomials (Mark Huber, CMC)
Moment generating functions (Laplace transforms) are a means for transforming probability problems into problems involving polynomials. Here I will concentrate on the binomial distribution, and use the mgf to link this distributions probabilities directly to the binomial theorem. The mgf is also a key ingredient in Chernoff bounds, which give upper bounds on the tail […]
