Beskrivning

Comprehensive and thorough development of both probability and statistics for serious computer scientists; goal-oriented: "to present the mathematical analysis underlying probability results"Special emphases on simulation and discrete decision theoryMathematically-rich, but self-contained text, at a gentle paceReview of calculus and linear algebra in an appendixMathematical interludes (in each chapter) which examine mathematical techniques in the context of probabilistic or statistical importanceNumerous section exercises, summaries, historical notes, and Further Readings for reinforcement of content
