Download or read book Introduction to Probability written by David F. Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classroom-tested textbook is an introduction to probability theory, with the right balance between mathematical precision, probabilistic intuition, and concrete applications. Introduction to Probability covers the material precisely, while avoiding excessive technical details. After introducing the basic vocabulary of randomness, including events, probabilities, and random variables, the text offers the reader a first glimpse of the major theorems of the subject: the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The important probability distributions are introduced organically as they arise from applications. The discrete and continuous sides of probability are treated together to emphasize their similarities. Intended for students with a calculus background, the text teaches not only the nuts and bolts of probability theory and how to solve specific problems, but also why the methods of solution work.

Download or read book The Doctrine of Chances written by Charles Sanders Peirce and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -"Beyond doubt, Charles Sanders Peirce was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century and certainly the greatest American thinker ever." Bertrand Russell, 1959This is the 6th book in the "Readings in Pragmatism" series. Unlike previous philosophies, Pragmatism assumes the existence of pure chance in the working of Nature. According to Peirce, "chance" is an irreducible element, and any form of determinism can only emerge from possibilities. This he calls "the Doctrine of Chances."The theories of statistics and probability we know today are based on the scientific and mathematical studies of the 19th century. Peirce was one of the pioneers in both fields. By improving the works of Augustus De Morgan and George Boole, Peirce gave the logical foundations for theories of statistics and probability. He invented the mathematical formalisms we are still using today.This book is one of the essential readings for statisticians, students of sciences and engineering, and gambling enthusiasts. It is the most straightforward and most-educated account on statistical and probabilistic thinking, reasoning, decision making, and problem-solving.In this article, you will discover: The logic theory behind statistics Logical reasoning in probabilistic scenarios The scientific foundations of statistics The history of probability theory Distinct modes of probabilistic inference The basic calculations for gamblers Solutions to Gambler's fallacy and other famous fallacies If you are ready to make this essential reading a part of your collection, then click Buy now with 1-click(R) button.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in a fully revised and updated second edition, this well established textbook provides a straightforward introduction to the theory of probability. The presentation is entertaining without any sacrifice of rigour; important notions are covered with the clarity that the subject demands. Topics covered include conditional probability, independence, discrete and continuous random variables, basic combinatorics, generating functions and limit theorems, and an introduction to Markov chains. The text is accessible to undergraduate students and provides numerous worked examples and exercises to help build the important skills necessary for problem solving.
Download or read book Runs and Patterns in Probability Selected Papers written by Anant P. Godbole and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-04-30 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Probability Theory of Patterns and Runs has had a long and distinguished history, starting with the work of de Moivre in the 18th century and that of von Mises in the early 1920's, and continuing with the renewal-theoretic results in Feller's classic text An Introduction to Probability Theory and its Applications, Volume 1. It is worthwhile to note, in particular, that de Moivre, in the third edition of The Doctrine of Chances (1756, reprinted by Chelsea in 1967, pp. 254-259), provides the generating function for the waiting time for the appearance of k consecutive successes. During the 1940's, statisticians such as Mood, Wolfowitz, David and Mosteller studied the distribution theory, both exact and asymptotic, of run-related statistics, thereby laying the foundation for several exact run tests. In the last two decades or so, the theory has seen an impressive re-emergence, primarily due to important developments in Molecular Biology, but also due to related research thrusts in Reliability Theory, Distribution Theory, Combinatorics, and Statistics.

This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1716 Abraham de Moivre published his Doctrine of Chances, in which the subject of Mathematical Probability took several long strides forward. A few years later came his Treatise of Annuities. When the third (and final) edition of the Doctrine was published in 1756 it appeared in one volume together with a revised edition of the work on Annuities. It is this latter two-volumes-in-one that is presented here in an exact photographic reprint, with a series of problems of progressive interest, followed by full solutions and an afterword by H.M. Walker.
