Introduction to Probability with Statistical Applications - Tapa blanda

Críticas

From the reviews:

"The textbook under consideration provides material for approximately a two semester introductory course in probability theory and statistics at the university level, particularly for students with non-mathematical major subjects, such as computer sciences, engineering and other natural and social sciences. It includes seven chapters in about 300 pages covering the most relevant basic fields. ... The large amount of exercises, a lot of diagrams and the mnemonic heading of each statement and definition will find a thankful audience for sure." (Michael Högele, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1135 (13), 2008)

"This textbook is a classical and well-written introduction to probability theory and statistics. ... the book is written ‘for an audience such as computer science students, whose mathematical background is not very strong and who do not need the detail and mathematical depth of similar books written for mathematics or statistics majors.’ ... Each new concept is clearly explained and is followed by many detailed examples. ... numerous examples of calculations are given and proofs are well-detailed." (Sophie Lemaire, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 m)

Reseña del editor

Introduction to Probability with Statistical Applications targets non-mathematics students, undergraduates and graduates, who do not need an exhaustive treatment of the subject. The presentation is rigorous and contains theorems and proofs, and linear algebra is largely avoided so only a minimal amount of multivariable calculus is needed. The book contains clear definitions, simplified notation and techniques of statistical analysis, which combined with well-chosen examples and exercises, motivate the exposition. Theory and applications are carefully balanced. Throughout the book there are references to more advanced concepts if required.
