Your videos are great!! I just saw your video on decision trees and you explained the concepts so clearly, I immediately subscribed. Would you ever go over Patient Rule Induction methods (PRIM)? It seems like a really interesting algorithm in OLAP contexts, but all I really see of it are complicated, math-notation-heavy white papers and patent applications that tweak the original to be more efficient (but use their own made up lexicon to describe it).

[@statquest]

[@dosadoodle]

Why such a long delay from the time this video is posted to time it is actually available? A full week seems excessive...

[@statquest]

This is the first time I've even tried doing a Premiere so I have no idea what the normal procedure is. How long do people usually have to wait? I picked a week out simply I thought 1) it would be fun to try a premiere (since I've never done one before and want to see what it is like) and 2) I'm all booked until a week from today. Would it be better to not announce the video/premiere until later this week?

[@dosadoodle]

@@statquest I'd suggest 4-24 hours between upload and the release time, maybe up to 48 hours for a major event release. The reasons it is awkward to set a longer delay: 1) For people who get notifications, unless it is a premiere for an unusually important video that they should indeed be looking forward to as an event, it can be annoying to get notified about something that can't be watched for multiple days. 2) The video gets added to the Subscriptions feed right away (as a Premiere), even though it isn't watchable until the date. So it just sits there cluttering the feed. This can have two effects: (a) For people who hide videos after they've watched them in this feed, it's tempting to just hide the video if it is sitting there for too long. (b) And for those that don't use the "hide" feature, the video will also be buried by the time it goes live even if it is resurfaced at the release. In this second case, the value of the Premiere is largely lost, because the reminder was buried under a bunch of other videos for several days, so the value of a reminder via Premier doesn't do much good. That's my line of thinking anyways.

[@statquest]

Awesome!!! Thanks for the tips!!! I really appreciate it. I'll keep this in mind for the next Premiere that I do.

The simple explanation is that a tensor is something that transforms like a tensor

[@statquest]

Noted

[@davidj9977]

"Tensor cores are processing units that accelerate the process of matrix multiplication", so then we're calling them Tensors instead of Matricies, so we can use Tensor cores, which multiply matricies. Makes sense.

[@statquest]

Unfortunately Neural Networks have lots of terminology along these lines.

[@andrewdunbar828]

Well tensors are generalized matrices not limited to two dimensions to matrices so just as 2D concepts are useful in our 3D world I'm assuming matrix operations are useful in tensors.

[@jeffersonmcgee9560]

My only question is: Why can tensors run in gpus? I've been trying to find information on it for the longest time and still found nothing. Why can't numpy arrays be stored in GPU? Thanks in advance! PS: Thanks to statquest, I was able to pass my data science class!!

[@statquest]

GPUs have their own instruction set, which is different from what you find on a standard GPU, so you have to code for that specifically. For details, see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

[@DarioOliveri]

Hi, I Need a more Advanced video about tensors... The feed forward step can be written as g(Wx+b) where W is square weights matrix, x is the input vector, b is the bias and g the activation function.. now. What if x is not a Vector, but Is a Matrix or a cube? I Need the generalized algorithm for feedforward step. There Is no place on the internet with that algorithm. Thank you

[@statquest]

I'll keep that in mind.

[@DanjasLP]

So Tensors are basically just faster matrices? And also, is there a difference between tensors and safetensors when talking about image generation AI?

[@statquest]

Tensors also have automatic differentiation. And, as far as I can tell, "safetensor" is a way to store tensors on disk that comes with some nice features, like not having to load the entire file into memory in order to inspect the values.

[@statquest]

For details on "batch training" see my video on Stochastic Gradient Descent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH7LYa2GiZWngqs Also, whether or not we add or average the derivatives depends on the loss function. If we use the Sum of the Squared Residuals, we simply add. If we use Mean Squared Error, we use the average.

[@manujarora5062]

@@statquest not clear about what you mean by adding the derivatives. Are you referring to adding the derivative to weight/ bias ?

Hello this one is homework Question: To examine the bone mineral density of women with ankle fractures, the investigators recruited 10 postmenopausal women with ankle fractures and 12 healthy postmenopausal women to serve as controls. The stiffness index of the lunar Achilles in each woman was obtained. The mean stiffness index for the ankle fracture group was 76.4 with a standard deviation of 5.83. In the control group, the mean was 82.3 with a standard deviation of 6.34. Assume that both samples are drawn from normal populations. (i) Test at 5% level of significance, whether the variances of the stiffness indices for the two groups are equal. (ii) Using p-value approach, examine whether these data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, in general, the mean stiffness index is higher in healthy postmenopausal women than in postmenopausal women with ankle fractures? Take a=0.05 (iii) Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the difference of two population mean stiffness indices. Does this interval confirm the conclusion derived in part (ii).
