Python libraries, such as NumPy and SciPy, are used for mathematical and numerical analysis. Through this course, learn how to generate uniform, binomial, and Poisson distributions using these libraries. Begin by exploring uniform distributions and delve into continuous and discrete distributions. You will then explore binomial distributions in-depth, including real-life situations where they can be applied. This course will also help you learn more about Poisson distributions and recognize their use cases. While examining these distributions, you will use functions, such as the probability density or probability mass functions and cumulative distributions functions, among others, to make estimations from your data. Upon completion of this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to implement and visualize uniform, binomial, and Poisson distributions in Python.
