Probabilistic Foundations and Linear Models for Regression
Every sound model begins with probability—the art of quantifying uncertainty. In the early chapters, we revisit the fundamentals: random variables, probability distributions, and the rules of inference. Bayes’ theorem is not just a formula; it is the principle that ties prior beliefs to data-driven ...

Linear Models for Classification and the Birth of Decision Boundaries
Regression predicts continuous outcomes; classification separates categories. Yet the principles remain probabilistic. Logistic regression and discriminant analysis are the key players. Logistic regression maps linear combinations of inputs through a sigmoid to yield probabilities—a smooth transitio...
