Probability Distributions


How long should components made from a new design last? How much average internet traffic should a network be rated for, given the variable nature of traffic?  The proper modeling of industrial, business and human processes requires knowledge of probability distributions.  Learn about the Poisson and other key probability distributions in our online course, "Probability Distributions," with Prof. Madhav Kulkarni.

"Probability Distributions" will cover statistical probability distributions, such as the Bernoulli distribution, uniform distribution, hyper geometric distribution, Poisson distribution, Normal distribution, exponential distribution, Gamma distribution, Weibull distribution, Student's t distribution, chi-square distribution, F-distribution.  Participants will learn how to identify which distribution(s) reasonably fit given data, and to evaluate the fit.


Madhav Kulkarni is Head of the Mathematics and Statistics Dept, B.Y.K. College of Commerce, Nashik, India. He is co-author of "Common Statistical Tests", "Introduction to Statistical Ecology," and "Introduction to Discrete Probability and Probability Distributions" as well as a number of research papers in various peer-reviewed journals. He is also a statistical consultant for industry and to biologists.

The course will require about 15 hours per week and there are no set hours when you must be online.  Participants can ask questions and exchange comments with Prof. Kulkarni, via a private discussion board throughout the period.

Sentiment Analysis, Text Mining


How are you (your organization/product/service) regarded in cyberspace?  Thrifty with money and time, people are unsparing with their opinions using Twitter, Facebook, Yelp, Flixster, blogs, web forums, product reviews...

Sentiment analysis is the relatively new art and science of distilling useful data from this mass of unstructured text. The first annual conference on this subject was just held in NYC (google "Sentiment Analysis Symposium"); one of the main presenters was Nitin Indurkhya and his staff from eBay.  He will present two online courses at statistics.com.

"Text Mining" will introduce the essential techniques of text mining -the extension of data mining's standard predictive methods to unstructured text. This course will discuss these standard predictive modeling techniques (some familiarity with these methods will help), and will devote considerable attention to the data preparation and handling methods that are required to transform unstructured text into a form in which it can be mined.  Access to software is provided with the course text.

"Sentiment Analysis" introduces you to the algorithms, techniques and software used in sentiment analysis. Their use will be illustrated by reference to existing applications, particularly product reviews and opinion mining. The course will try to make clear both the capabilities and the limitations of these applications. For real-world applications, sentiment analysis draws heavily on work in computational linguistics and text-mining. At the completion of the course, a student will have a good idea of the field of sentiment analysis, the current state-of-the-art and the issues and problems that are likely to be the focus of future systems.

Nitin Indurkhya is co-author of "Text Mining" (Springer), and co-editor of the "Handbook of Natural Language Processing" (CRC). Dr. Indurkhya is Principal Research Scientist at eBay. Previously, he was a Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of New South Wales (Australia), as well as the founder and president of Data-Miner Pty Ltd, an Australian company engaged in data-mining consulting and education.  Participants can ask questions and exchange comments directly with Dr. Indurkhya via a private discussion forum throughout each course.
