% --- Math/Statistics commands ---
% Add a reference number to a single line of a multi-line equation
% Usage: "\numberthis\label{labelNameHere}" in an align or gather environment
\newcommand\numberthis{\addtocounter{equation}{1}\tag{\theequation}}
% Shortcut for bold text in math mode, e.g. $\b{X}$
\let\b\mathbf
% Shortcut for bold Greek letters, e.g. $\bg{\beta}$
\let\bg\boldsymbol
% Shortcut for calligraphic script, e.g. %\mc{M}$
\let\mc\mathcal
% \mathscr{(letter here)} is sometimes used to denote vector spaces
\usepackage[mathscr]{euscript}
% Convergence: right arrow with optional text on top
% E.g. $\converge[p]$ for converges in probability
\newcommand{\converge}[1][]{\xrightarrow{#1}}
% Weak convergence: harpoon symbol with optional text on top
% E.g. $\wconverge[n\to\infty]$
\newcommand{\wconverge}[1][]{\stackrel{#1}{\rightharpoonup}}
% Equality: equals sign with optional text on top
% E.g. $X \equals[d] Y$ for equality in distribution
\newcommand{\equals}[1][]{\stackrel{\smash{#1}}{=}}
% Normal distribution: arguments are the mean and variance

% Independent and identically distributed random variables
% E.g. $ X_1,...,X_n \iid \normal{0}{1}$
\newcommand{\iid}{\stackrel{\smash{\text{iid}}}{\sim}}
% Sequences (this shortcut is mostly to reduce finger strain for small hands)
% E.g. to write $\{A_n\}_{n\geq 1}$, do $\bk{A_n}{n\geq 1}$

% Example slide: use \pause to sequentially unveil content
\begin{frame}{Mercer's theorem}
\framesubtitle{Eigendecomposition of a kernel}
A continuous function $K:([0,1]\times[0,1])\to\R$ is a \textit{kernel} if it is: \vspace{-0.4em}
\pause
\begin{itemize}
\item Symmetric: $K(a,b)=K(b,a)$\pause
\item Positive semi-definite: $$\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^nK(x_i,x_j)c_ic_j\geq 0$$ for all $x_1,...,x_n\in[0,1]$ and $c_1,...,c_n\in\R$
\end{itemize}
\pause
Now define an integral operator on $\El^2[0,1]$ using $K$:
\begin{align*}
(T_Kf)(x) = \int_0^1K(x,s)f(s)\dv s
\end{align*}
