Description
Each year tens of thousands of professors confront over a million students required to take statistics courses in almost every discipline-from anthropology to zoology. Because most students did not choose to take "stat" courses, they lack the motivation to learn and use statistics and, therefore, experience statistics as a "grunt" subject to pass at all costs. Professors try to overcome this problem by giving interesting lectures and assigning good...

Description
Universally acknowledged as the classic text about statistics of extremes, this volume is geared toward use by statisticians and statistically minded scientists and engineers. It employs elementary terms to explain applications, favors graphical procedures over calculations, and presents simple generalizations as exercises - all of which contribute to its value for students. Starting with definitions of its aims and tools, the text proceeds to discussions...

Description
Statistics has been derived from the Latin word 'status, an Italian word 'statist' or a German word 'Statistic', all of which means a 'political state'. The use of statistics has been employed in various fields like biostatics, agriculture, economics, sociology, business management etc.
The field of statistics is not afresh, and its beginning can be dated back to the times of the beginning of the human activities. However, the utilization of statistics...

This concise monograph in probability by Mark Kac, a well-known mathematician, presumes a familiarity with Lebesgue's theory of measure and integration, the elementary theory of Fourier integrals, and the rudiments of number theory. Readers may then follow Dr. Kac's attempt "to rescue statistical independence from the fate of abstract oblivion by showing how in its simplest form it arises in various contexts cutting across different mathematical disciplines."...

Desde la antigüedad, el ser humano ha tratado de asimilar y cuantificar los fenómenos aleatorios, surgiendo distintas concepciones sobre el azar y lo probable; también por miles de años, el hombre ha realizado actividades asociadas con la recolección, organización e interpretación de información, las cuales paulatinamente fueron abordadas por la estadística. Tanto la probabilidad como la estadística se han constituido en herramientas de...

Description
This introduction to probability theory transforms a highly abstract subject into a series of coherent concepts. Its extensive discussions and clear examples, written in plain language, expose students to the rules and methods of probability. Suitable for an introductory probability course, this volume requires abstract and conceptual thinking skills and a background in calculus. Topics include classical probability, set theory, axioms, probability...

Description
An investigation of the logical foundations of the theory behind Markov random processes, this text explores subprocesses, transition functions, and conditions for boundedness and continuity. Rather than focusing on probability measures individually, the work explores connections between functions. An elementary grasp of the theory of Markov processes is assumed. Starting with a brief survey of relevant concepts and theorems from measure theory, the...

This book was written with a dual purpose: first, the author was motivated to relieve his distress over the faulty conclusions drawn from the frequent misuse of relatively simple statistical tools such as percents, graphs, and averages. Second, his objective was to create a nontechnical book that would help people make better-informed decisions by increasing their ability to judge the quality of statistical evidence. This volume achieves both, serving...
