Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - Continuous Random Variables: Gaussian Random Variables

The video introduces Gaussian random variables, also known as normal random variables, and their importance in machine learning. It explains the probability density function (PDF) of Gaussian distribution, highlighting its mathematical formulation and properties. The video delves into exponential functions, illustrating how they relate to Gaussian distribution. It discusses the characteristics of Gaussian distribution, including its peak and decay behavior, and explains the role of parameters like mu and sigma. The video concludes with a brief mention of future practical applications using Jupyter Notebook.
