| | [AI summary] The text covers various topics in probability and statistics, including continuous distributions, empirical density functions, and data analysis. It discusses the uniform distribution, rejection sampling, and the construction of continuous distributions without probability density functions. The text also includes data analysis exercises involving empirical density functions for body weight, body length, and gender-specific body weight.

| | Someof the most fundamental functions in R, in my opinion, are those that deal with probability distributions. Whenever you compute a P-value you relyon a probability distribution, and there are many types out there. In this exercise I will cover four: Bernoulli, Binomial, Poisson, and Normal distributions. Let me begin with some theory first: Bernoulli...

| This blog post focuses on a promising new direction for generative modeling. We can learn score functions (gradients of log probability density functions) on a large number of noise-perturbed data distributions, then generate samples with Langevin-type sampling. The resulting generative models, often called score-based generative models, has several important advantages over existing model families: GAN-level sample quality without adversarial training, flexible model architectures, exact log-likelihood ...
