The Gini Impurity Index explained in 8 minutes!

[@Leonardo-jv1ls]

This is the exact meaning of "The simplest and best explanation".

[@muhannedalsaif153]

and beautiful!

[@hansenmarc]

Best explanation of Gini impurity I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[@RogerVandervort]

This explanation is, by far, one of the most simple and direct. It drives an intuitive understanding of the calculation.

[@celismaroliveira6081]

That is the best explanation of Gini impurity I’ve ever seen! Even 8-year-old children can get it. Amazing! Congrats Luis Serrano/Serrano Academy!!

[@supersql8406]

The best gini index explanation!!

[@reverse_engineered]

What a great and simple way to explain it! I love these visual demonstrations.

[@skamal4u]

one of the best explanation ever . so simple and easy to follow 👏👏👏

[@srisrinivas9873]

Very intuitive and easy to grasp. Thanks for your effort Luis Serrano.

[@JaviOrman]

What an intuitive explanation!

[@ssshukla26]

Wow... It was this simple... Certainly I didn't learn this simply enough to understand at my uni... Not my prof's fault btw...

[@shubha07m]

THE Best explanation of Gini index ever, YOU are awesome!

[@736939]

The real scientist can explain everything by the simple terms. You're the real scientist and thank you very much, unfortunately there are not so many scientist (especially physicians) who are able to use simple language.

[@marcinstrzesak346]

Very good explanation. Thank you

Wow this was so good explained!😍 i'm an AI and neuroscience student and your videos are helping me out a lot!🙏

[@alexbuchko323]

This is an amazing explanation, I didn't know it was that simple!

[@VivianSam-l6i]

Great explanation, able to understand in one go!!

[@abdulkarim.jamal.kanaan]

this is the best explanation; I hope the book is as easy to understand as this one :)

[@zukofire6424]

Thanks Pr. Serrano for this! It helps prepare for my exam! :)

Thank you, Luis! I'm enjoying your book very much :)

[@srinivasachary7392]

Wow... Great. Superb Explanation

[@denisr5250]

This was an awesome explanation! One small question (maybe correction?) - at around 7:20 shouldn't the Gini index of the diverse set be 1 - (0 + 0 + ... +0) since the probability of getting the same element twice is 0 - there are 10 unique elements i.e. no duplicates, so it's impossible to pick two of the same item.

[@kishorab]

Is Gini index being calculated with replacement. Blue,red,green,yellow squares consist of items being paired with themselves. If an item is picked it can only be paired with itself by replacing it back.

[@arshadkazi4559]

Amazing, just what I wanted!

[@vaibhavmishra232]

very geniously explained

[@apristen]

thanks for great easy to understand explanation!!!

[@marekglowacki2607]

Great explanation! Could you make an video on Gini Impurity Index vs Gini Coefficient?

[@fadhlallahbaklouti9111]

Love the explanation

[@fabio336ful]

Th explanation I was looking for!

[@usmanriaz94]

I thought maximum value of gini index is .5. i am confused. can somebody help ?

[@thegreatdream8427]

This is basically a measure of average distance between pairs of points in a space. In this case all the points are vertices of a regular unit simplex, so if two elements are the same they're the same point, and if different their distance is 1. If instead you have degrees of difference - distances in type-of-thing-space - the simple formula using squares would stop working, but it would fit the real world better. :)

[@ritikchopra4429]

Hey, great explanation but I have a doubt, why are we allowed to pick the same element twice?

[@scooby95219]

very good explanation. thank you!

[@shashanktripathi3034]

This Really helped Great Work Thanks

[@alphonseinbaraj7602]

Wonderful... Great explanation

[@michelcusteau3184]

You mention that Gini Impurity is going to give values between the range of 0 - 1, However from other sources it says that the Gini Impurity only going to output values between the range of 0 - 0.5 . Is this a mistake in the video?

[@siddarthbali12]

Great explanation

[@fobos6166]

Im very thankfull sir

[@karmabender]

Awesome explanation. This is part of Decision Tree algorithm but you are not making any video on Decision Tree. How Decision tree algo makes nodes and condition itself without applying our own if else statement? Clear explanation on internal working of Decision Tree is not available on youtube that how it works from scratch only using python without using any library like sklearn.

[@mattcobras]

that's awesome, I like your lesson.

[@grantsmith3653]

Perfect! Thank you!!

[@oatmilk9545]

I don't get the last example with 10 different classes. in this case, we're never going to have a pair of equal elements (which you started your video with); and in the square where we seek for intersections of two classes, we'll have just an empty cell for each pair of elements from the same class because, again, their pairing isn't possible

[@emrahyener402]

You are great! keep going please!

[@刘鹏宇-k7f]

Thank you very much.

[@forpublicstuff728]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@angjelinhila927]

Je suis confus. Isn't max gini standardized to 0.5? In other words 1 - (0.5^2 + 0.5^2) = 0.5?

[@eric_bonucci_data]

This definition of the Gini index is different from the one in Introduction to Statistical Learning with R (Equation 8.6 p.335), could you please elaborate on that ? Thank you

[@eric_bonucci_data]

I just figured it out : the sum of the proportion of training observations over all classes is equal to 1, so sum(pk(1-pk)) = 1 - sum(pk^2)

[@eric_bonucci_data]

Knowing that other definition from ISLR also helps to understand why the Gini index can be seen as the probability of sampling two observations of different class in the dataset.

[@shubhamtalks9718]

Amazing!!!

[@tourdesource]

Shouldn't we eliminate the diagonal? It doesn't make sense to pick the same element twice.

[@SerranoAcademy]

@@tourdesource good point! I thought the same thing, since it makes sense to not take the diagonal, but for some reason they defined it that way. Removing the diagonal, the formula changes from 1-p_1^2-…-p_k^2 to 1-1/n - [p_1^2-…-p_k^2]*(n-1)/n So at the end, it will give the same decision tree.

[@tourdesource]

Got it. Simpler formula, same result. Thanks a lot for answering!

[@ger9551]

what happens if all gini index is 0?

[@vaggelisntaloukas2016]

Thanks!

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thank you so much for your kind contribution Vaggelis! 😊

[@noelthomasbejoy3089]

if theres only oneof them ,how can 1/10 ^2 exist.Since it cant be selected twice?

[@shripaddeshpande5766]

I guess its sampling with replacement.

[@abdelrhmanrhyaseen6194]

Amazing

[@prackertracker7189]

2:33 here you say gini is the propability of picking two distinct data points of a data set. At the end you present a totally diverse data set and say the gini index is 0.9. How is that possible since the propability of picking two totally different data points i 100% because we only have distinct and none data points that are the same?

[@loftyTHEOWNER]

I understood there is no sampling. Just a matrix of all the observations. So for 10 different objects, we have a matrix 10x10 and the elements on the diagonals are equal of course, so you d0 (100 - 10) / 100 = 0.9

[@nijat6704]

As I know the Gini index ranges between 0 and 0.5. So the answer that you found seems wrong
