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

The video tutorial explains the concept of parametric distributions and the assumption of independent and identically distributed (IID) data. It introduces sample points and distribution parameters, focusing on the method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) for parameter estimation. The tutorial discusses how to maximize the likelihood function to find the most probable parameters and minimize the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, which measures the deviation of the estimated distribution from the true distribution.
