Which of the following is an example of an Indian mathematical inequality?

  1. Cauchy-Schwarz inequality

  2. Jensen's inequality

  3. Chebyshev's inequality

  4. Markov's inequality


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is an inequality that relates the inner product of two vectors to the product of their norms. It is named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy and Hermann Schwarz, who independently discovered it in the 19th century.

What is the statement of Jensen's inequality?

  1. If (f) is a convex function and (X) is a random variable, then (E[f(X)] \ge f(E[X])).

  2. If (f) is a concave function and (X) is a random variable, then (E[f(X)] \le f(E[X])).

  3. If (f) is a convex function and (X) is a random variable, then (E[f(X)] \le f(E[X])).

  4. If (f) is a concave function and (X) is a random variable, then (E[f(X)] \ge f(E[X])).


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Jensen's inequality states that if (f) is a convex function and (X) is a random variable, then the expected value of (f(X)) is greater than or equal to the value of (f) at the expected value of (X).

What is the statement of Chebyshev's inequality?

  1. For any random variable (X) with mean (\mu) and variance (\sigma^2), the probability that (|X - \mu| \ge k\sigma) is at most (1/k^2).

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chebyshev's inequality states that for any random variable (X) with mean (\mu) and variance (\sigma^2), the probability that the absolute value of the difference between (X) and (\mu) is greater than or equal to (k\sigma) is at most (1/k^2).

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Markov's inequality states that for any random variable (X) with mean (\mu) and variance (\sigma^2), the probability that the absolute value of the difference between (X) and (\mu) is greater than or equal to (k\sigma) is at least (1/k^2).

Which of the following is an application of Jensen's inequality in data science?

  1. Risk minimization in machine learning

  2. Dimensionality reduction

  3. Clustering

  4. Classification


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Jensen's inequality is used in risk minimization in machine learning to bound the expected loss of a model. The expected loss is the average loss over all possible inputs, and Jensen's inequality can be used to show that the expected loss of a convex function is greater than or equal to the loss of the expected input.

Which of the following is an application of Chebyshev's inequality in data science?

  1. Outlier detection

  2. Hypothesis testing

  3. Confidence intervals

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Chebyshev's inequality is used in data science for outlier detection, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals. In outlier detection, Chebyshev's inequality can be used to identify data points that are significantly different from the rest of the data. In hypothesis testing, Chebyshev's inequality can be used to test the hypothesis that the mean of a population is equal to a specified value. In confidence intervals, Chebyshev's inequality can be used to construct confidence intervals for the mean of a population.

Which of the following is an application of Markov's inequality in data science?

  1. Tail bounds

  2. Concentration inequalities

  3. Large deviations theory

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Markov's inequality is used in data science for tail bounds, concentration inequalities, and large deviations theory. In tail bounds, Markov's inequality can be used to bound the probability that a random variable deviates from its mean by more than a certain amount. In concentration inequalities, Markov's inequality can be used to show that the sum of a large number of independent random variables is concentrated around its mean. In large deviations theory, Markov's inequality can be used to study the behavior of rare events.
