The Chain Rule, Clearly Explained!!!

The Chain Rule is a method for finding complex derivatives and is used all the time in Statistics and Machine Learning. This video breaks it down into its two simple pieces and shows you how they easily come together. We then use the Chain Rule to solve a common Machine Learning problem - optimizing the Residual Squared Loss Function.

And when the residual is positive, the pink circle should be on the right side. #StatQuest #TheChainRul
