Temporal difference definition (Reinforcement Learning)
Reading for instance Szepesvari or this : i struggle to understand the rationale behind the temporal-difference definition
$\delta_{t}=R_{t}+\gamma V_{k}(x_{t+1})-V_{k}(x_{t})$

Bernouilli variables - bias and variance of estimator
Reading through this I work on Example 1 in 3. Consistency.
$X_{1},... , X_{n} ∼ Bernoulli(p)$. The mle $\hat{p}$ has bias 0 and variance $p(1−p)/n \rightarrow 0$.
Here $\hat{p} =
\sum_{i} Xi/n$. So …

Bias Variance Decomposition 2.7 in Elements of Statistical Inference
I try to derive 2.7 from the book. I expose my demonstration
$E_\tau[(y_0-\hat{y}_0)^2]=E_\tau[y_0^2]-2E_{\tau}[y_{0}\hat{y_{0}}]+E_{\tau}[\hat{y_{0}}^{2}]$
$= y_{0}^{2}-2y_{0}E_{\tau}[\hat{y_{0}}]+E …

Prove that the direction in Least Angle Regression makes equal angle with all predictors
The fit direction at step $k$ is $u_{k}=X_{A_{k}}\delta_{k}$ where $\delta_{k}=(X^{T}_{A_{k}}X_{A_{k}})^{-1}X^{T}_{A_{k}}r_{k}$. Thus we have $X_{A_{k}}^{T}u_{k}=X_{A_{k}}^{T}X_{A_{k}}\delta_{k}=X_{A_ …

Computation of LDA in Elements of Statistical Learning 4.3.2
Sphering ( or whitening ) the data ($X$) means applying a transformation so that in the new basis, the covariance for sphered data ($X^{*}$) is the identity matrix, i.e. $E[X^{*T}X^{*}]=I_{n}$ .
We op …
