Outline of Today’s Class
• Statistical Basics
– Point Estimation
– Models Based on Summarization
– Bayes Theorem
– Hypothesis Testing
– Regression and Correlation
• Similarity Measures
© Prentice Hall 22
Point Estimation
• Point Estimate: estimate a population
parameter.
• May be made by calculating the parameter for a
sample.
• May be used to predict value for missing data.
• Ex:
– R contains 100 employees
– 99 have salary information
– Mean salary of these is $50,000
– Use $50,000 as value of remaining employee’s
salary.
Is this a good idea?
© Prentice Hall 23
Estimation Error
• Bias: Difference between expected value and
actual value.
• Mean Squared Error (MSE): expected value of
the squared difference between the estimate
and the actual value:
• Why square?
• Root Mean Square Error (RMSE)
© Prentice Hall 24
Jackknife Estimate
• Jackknife Estimate: estimate of parameter is
obtained by omitting one value from the set of
observed values.
– Treat the data like a population
– Take samples from this population
– Use these samples to estimate the parameter
• Let θ(hat) be an estimate on the entire pop.
• Let θ(j)(hat) be an estimator of the same form
with observation j deleted
• Allows you to examine the impact of outliers!
© Prentice Hall 25
Maximum Likelihood
Estimate (MLE)
• Obtain parameter estimates that maximize
the probability that the sample data occurs for
the specific model.
• Joint probability for observing the sample
data by multiplying the individual probabilities.
Likelihood function:
• Maximize L.
© Prentice Hall 26
MLE Example
• Coin toss five times: {H,H,H,H,T}
• Assuming a perfect coin with H and T equally
likely, the likelihood of this sequence is:
• However if the probability of a H is 0.8 then:
© Prentice Hall 27
MLE Example (cont’d)
• General likelihood formula:
• Estimate for p is then 4/5 = 0.8
© Prentice Hall 28
Expectation-Maximization (EM)
• Solves estimation with incomplete data.
• Obtain initial estimates for parameters.
• Iteratively use estimates for missing data
and continue until convergence.
© Prentice Hall 29
EM Example
© Prentice Hall 30
EM Algorithm
© Prentice Hall 31
Bayes Theorem Example
• Credit authorizations (hypotheses):
h1=authorize purchase, h2 = authorize after
further identification, h3=do not authorize,
h4= do not authorize but contact police
• Assign twelve data values for all
combinations of credit and income:
• From training data: P(h1) = 60%; P(h2)=20%;
P(h3)=10%; P(h4)=10%.

Excellent x1 x2 x3 x4
Good x5 x6 x7 x8
Bad x9 x10 x11 x12
© Prentice Hall 32
Bayes Example(cont’d)
• Training Data:
ID Income Credit Class xi
1 4 Excellent h1 x4
2 3 Good h1 x7
3 2 Excellent h1 x2
4 3 Good h1 x7
5 4 Good h1 x8
6 2 Excellent h1 x2
7 3 Bad h2 x11
8 2 Bad h2 x10
9 3 Bad h3 x11
10 1 Bad h4 x9
© Prentice Hall 33
Bayes Example(cont’d)
• Calculate P(xi|hj) and P(xi)
• Ex: P(x7|h1)=2/6; P(x4|h1)=1/6; P(x2|h1)=2/6; P(x8|
h1)=1/6; P(xi|h1)=0 for all other xi.
• Predict the class for x4:
– Calculate P(hj|x4) for all hj.
– Place x4 in class with largest value.
– Ex:
• P(h1|x4)=(P(x4|h1)(P(h1))/P(x4)
=(1/6)(0.6)/0.1=1.
• x4 in class h1.
© Prentice Hall 34
Other Statistical Measures
• Chi-Squared
– O – observed value
– E – Expected value based on hypothesis.
• Jackknife Estimate
– estimate of parameter is obtained by omitting one value from the
set of observed values.
• Regression
– Predict future values based on past values
– Linear Regression assumes linear relationship exists.
y = c0 + c1 x1 + … + cn xn
• Find values to best fit the data
• Correlation
© Prentice Hall 35
Similarity Measures
• Determine similarity between two objects.
• Similarity characteristics:
• Alternatively, distance measure measure how
unlike or dissimilar objects are.
© Prentice Hall 36
Similarity Measures
© Prentice Hall 37
Distance Measures
• Measure dissimilarity between objects
© Prentice Hall 38
Information Retrieval
• Information Retrieval (IR): retrieving desired
information from textual data.
• Library Science
• Digital Libraries
• Web Search Engines
• Traditionally keyword based
• Sample query:
Find all documents about “data mining”.
DM: Similarity measures;
Mine text/Web data.
© Prentice Hall 39
Information Retrieval (cont’d)
• Similarity: measure of how close a
query is to a document.
• Documents which are “close enough”
are retrieved.
• Metrics:
–Precision = |Relevant and Retrieved|
|Retrieved|
–Recall = |Relevant and Retrieved|
|Relevant|
