About this Free Certificate Course
Probability is a branch of mathematics that teaches us to deal with the occurrence of an event after specific repeated trials. The value here is expressed from zero to one. It aids us in understanding exactly how a particular event is going to behave in a given set of variables. It also aids us in predicting possible variations in the behavior of the variable in a fluctuating environment.
This free course on Probability in Machine Learning provides basic foundations for probability and various distributions such as Normal, Binomial, and Poisson. It will make you familiar with the concept of Marginal probability and the Bayes theorem. Lastly, you will work with a demo on distributions calculations using Python.
Several world-class universities, such as the UT Austin and SRM Institute of Science and Technology, have formed a collaboration with Great Learning. They designed various post-graduate artificial intelligence courses and degree programs, which are India’s #1 ranked programs in the industry. An extensive curriculum has been prepared by top-class faculty so that the learners could develop advanced AIML skills. Various industry experts from top-notch organizations offer personalized mentorship to our learners, providing guidance to become successful in their careers.
