### Feynmann's technique for Gamma-like integrals

mathematical analysis

In mathematical statistics and probability theory, integration of the form that resembles gamma function arises time to time if not frequently:

### Negative Version of Hypergeometric Distribution

probability

It is a well known and popular fact that the number $X$ of i.i.d. Bernoulli trials, with success probability $p,$ until the fixed $r$-th success follows the distribution with probability mass function given as

### Understanding Restricted Boltzmann Machine

machine learning information theory generative model

A Boltzmann machine is an unsuperviced generative model that learns the probability distribution of a random variable using the Boltzmann distribution. Although it has been proposed in 1985, practical utilization was nearly impossible for samples of nontrivial sizes. Only later in 2002 when the restricted version of it overcame the implausibility did it became a widely used algorithm.

### Mutual information and Channel Capacity

information theory

From the definition of entropy, Shannon further defined information that the message $X$ and the recovered message $Y$ have in common. Using the the founding definitions from this and the previous article, we can develop a little more sophisticated theory.
