Beschreibung

Probability and Statistics are as much about intuition and problem solving as they are about theorem proving. Because of this, students can find it very difficult to make a successful transition from lectures to examinations to practice, since the problems involved can vary so much in nature. Since the subject is critical in many modern applications such as mathematical finance, quantitative management, telecommunications, signal processing, bioinformatics, as well as traditional ones such as insurance, social science andengineering, the authors have rectified deficiencies in traditional lecture-based methods by collecting together a wealth of exercises with complete solutions, adapted to needs and skills of students. Following on from the success of Probability and Statistics by Example: Basic Probability and Statistics, the authors here concentrate on random processes, particularly Markov processes, emphasising modelsrather than general constructions. Basic mathematical facts are supplied as and when they are needed andhistorical information is sprinkled throughout.

Zusammenfassung

Following on from the success of Volume 1 of Probability and Statistics by Example: Basic Probability and Statistics, the authors here concentrate on random processes, particularly Markov processes. The text reflects modern trends in the subject, with an emphasis on models rather than general constructions. Basic mathematical facts are supplied as and when they are needed and historical information is sprinkled throughout, ensuring a highly accessible text. Containing nearly 200 exercises with complete solutions, the book is ideal for students of probability and statistics who want to follow Cambridge standards.
