Law of Large Numbers, brief explaination
Feb 28, 2022
What is law of large numbers?
In very simpler words, law of large numbers says that if we have large enough data — the average of the data — is same as expected value of the data.
More technically, law of large numbers states that —
As we collect and get large enough data on a random variable (x), the mean converges to the expected value.
mean of x=(x1 + x2 + .. xN) / N → expected mean, where N → ∞
Emphasis on large enough here. What large enough is depends on expected distribution as well. The speed on convergence — might be different.
