Editorial Review Product Description This new edition contains substantial revision and updated references. The reader will find a deeper study of topics such as the distance between probability measures, metrization of weak convergence, and contiguity of probability measures. Proofs for a number of some important results which were merely stated in the first edition have been added. The author has included new material on the probability of large deviations, on the central limit theorem for sums of dependent random variables, and on a discrete version of Ito's formula.

Excellent introduction to discrete probability
For a good start in Probability
A useful little book It is, as the name suggests, an intoduction to probability. 1) Set theory- examples of sets and set notation, subsets, operatons on sets, algebra of sets, cartesian product sets (about 40 pages) 3) Sophisticated counting- counting techniques, binomial coefficients (about 25 pages) 4) Random variables: Random variables and probability functions, mean of a random variable, variance and standard deviation, joint probability functions, means and variance of sums of random variables, covariance and correlation (about 100 pages) 5) Binomial Distribution and some applications: bernoulli trials and binomial distribution, testing a hypothesis, an examples of decision making under uncertainty (about 40 pages) As you can clearly see, there is no normal distribution. Also the book has answers (not worked) to only odd numbered questions. The problems are quite tricky at times and do require some thought. The author's style is quite readable, showing the lessening of stiltedness that seem to afflict books of it's era. Mathematical formalism isn't at the forefront of what the author is trying to do: he's trying to teach you how it works, rather than how to prove it from first principles. This means it isn't a bad book for the beginner. No calculus is required. And obviously the meat of the book is on the treatment of random variables and typical descriptive measures: mean, variance, standard deviation, covariance, correlation. I have to admit that I enjoyed working through the book as it isn't enormous or burdened with irrelevant crapola. While I would have liked further treatement of the normal distribution, what this book gives is quite excellent for the price and size of the book. Paul Pfeiffer's 'concepts of probability Theory'(isbn 0486636771) makes a good continuation to this book if you are learning at your own pace, rather than inside a structured course. All in all, a good little book that offers good value and doesn't promise the world but fail to devliver: it promises an introduction and that's what you get: a basic introduction (though it requires some effort, so it perhaps isn't as introductory as it might seems- depends on your mathematical ability). If you're working with the normal distrubution or wanting a 'cookbook' on probability, however, look elsewhere. This book teaches more through exposition then by example. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Updated to conform to Mathematica® 7.0, Introduction to Probability with Mathematica®, Second Edition continues to show students how to easily create simulations from templates and solve problems using Mathematica. It provides a real understanding of probabilistic modeling and the analysis of data and encourages the application of these ideas to practical problems. The accompanying CD-ROM offers instructors the option of creating class notes, demonstrations, and projects. New to the Second Edition After covering topics in discrete probability, the text presents a fairly standard treatment of common discrete distributions. It then transitions to continuous probability and continuous distributions, including normal, bivariate normal, gamma, and chi-square distributions. The author goes on to examine the history of probability, the laws of large numbers, and the central limit theorem. The final chapter explores stochastic processes and applications, ideal for students in operations research and finance. |

Editorial Review Product Description Probabilistic concepts play an increasingly important role in mathematics, physics, biology, financial engineering and computer science. They help us to understand magnetism, amorphous media, genetic diversity and the perils of random developments on the financial markets, and they guide us in constructing more efficient algorithms. This text is a comprehensive course in modern probability theory and its measure-theoretical foundations. Aimed primarily at graduate students and researchers, the book covers a wide variety of topics, many of which are not usually found in introductory textbooks, such as: The theory is developed rigorously and in a self-contained way, with the chapters on measure theory interlaced with the probabilistic chapters in order to display the power of the abstract concepts in the world of probability theory. In addition, plenty of figures, computer simulations, biographic details of key mathematicians, and a wealth of examples support and enliven the presentation. Customer Reviews (3)

77. Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB by Steven Kay | |

Editorial Review Product Description Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB® is an introduction to probability and random processes that merges theory with practice. Based on the author’s belief that only "hands-on" experience with the material can promote intuitive understanding, the approach is to motivate the need for theory using MATLAB examples, followed by theory and analysis, and finally descriptions of "real-world" examples to acquaint the reader with a wide variety of applications. The latter is intended to answer the usual question "Why do we have to study this?" Other salient features are: *heavy reliance on computer simulation for illustration and student exercises *the incorporation of MATLAB programs and code segments *discussion of discrete random variables followed by continuous random variables to minimize confusion *summary sections at the beginning of each chapter *in-line equation explanations *warnings on common errors and pitfalls *over 750 problems designed to help the reader assimilate and extend the concepts Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB® is intended for undergraduate and first-year graduate students in engineering. The practicing engineer as well as others having the appropriate mathematical background will also benefit from this book. About the Author Steven M. Kay is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Rhode Island and a leading expert in signal processing. He has received the Education Award "for outstanding contributions in education and in writing scholarly books and texts..." from the IEEE Signal Processing society and has been listed as among the 250 most cited researchers in the world in engineering.

Editorial Review Product Description Our lives are played out in the arena of chance. However little we recognize it in our day-to-day existence, we are always riding the odds, seeking out certainty but settling—reluctantly—for likelihood, building our beliefs on the shadowy props of probability. Chances Are is the story of man’s millennia-long search for the tools to manage the recurrent but unpredictable—to help us prevent, or at least mitigate, the seemingly random blows of disaster, disease, and injustice. In these pages, we meet the brilliant individuals who developed the first abstract formulations of probability, as well as the intrepid visionaries who recognized their practical applications—from gamblers to military strategists to meteorologists to medical researchers, from blackjack to our own mortality.
