If the points in the joint probability distribution of X and Y that receive positive probability tend to fall along a line of positive (or negative) slope, ρ XY is near +1 (or −1). If ρ XY equals +1 or −1, it can be shown that the points in the joint probability distribution that receive positive probability fall exactly along a straight ...
In probability theory and statistics Chow–Liu tree is an efficient method for constructing a second-order product approximation of a joint probability distribution, first described in a paper by Chow & Liu (1968). The goals of such a decomposition, as with such Bayesian networks in general, may be either data compression or inference.

where P(t) is the transition matrix of jump t, i.e., P(t) is the matrix such that entry (i,j) contains the probability of the chain moving from state i to state j in t steps. As a corollary, it follows that to calculate the transition matrix of jump t , it is sufficient to raise the transition matrix of jump one to the power of t , that is
This rule allows one to express a joint probability in terms of only conditional probabilities. [4] The rule is notably used in the context of discrete stochastic processes and in applications, e.g. the study of Bayesian networks, which describe a probability distribution in terms of conditional probabilities.
A probability metric D between two random variables X and Y may be defined, for example, as (,) = | | (,) where F(x, y) denotes the joint probability density function of the random variables X and Y.
Copula has also been used to predict the histological diagnosis of colorectal lesions from colonoscopy images, [57] and to classify cancer subtypes. [58] A copula-based analysis model has been developed in the field of heart and cardiovascular disease, for example, to predict heart rate (HR) variation. Heart rate (HR) is one of the most ...
Standard examples of each, all of which are linear classifiers, are: generative classifiers: naive Bayes classifier and; linear discriminant analysis; discriminative model: logistic regression; In application to classification, one wishes to go from an observation x to a label y (or probability distribution on labels
