Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - Optional Estimation: Loglikelihood

The video tutorial introduces exponential random variables and explains how to estimate the parameter Lambda using the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE). It covers the density function of exponential distributions, the concept of independent and identically distributed (IID) samples, and the process of maximizing the likelihood function. The tutorial also discusses the simplification of the likelihood function using logarithms and derives the MLE for Lambda. The video concludes with a brief mention of the MAP estimator, setting the stage for the next tutorial.

Describe the relationship between the expected value of an exponential random variable and Lambda.
