Chebyshev's inequality states: P(|X-μ| ≥ kσ) ≤ 1/k²
the union bound says: P(A∪B) ≤ P(A) + P(B)
The union bound states: P(A∪B) ≤ P(A) + P(B)
KL divergence is always ≥ 0 and equals 0 only when P = Q exactly
KL divergence measures the difference between two distributions P and Q; it is always non-negative and zero if and only if P equals Q exactly
Law of large numbers
Law of large numbers: X̄_ n → μ as n → ∞ with probability 1
Norm (mathematics)
L∞ norm equals max absolute value
Chebyshev's inequality
Chebyshev's inequality limits the probability of deviation from the mean
the L1 norm is not differentiable at zero
The L1 norm is not differentiable at zero because the absolute value function has a kink at zero
