This is a masterly introduction to the modern and rigorous theory of probability. The author adopts the martingale theory as his main theme and moves at a lively pace through the subject's rigorous foundations. Measure theory is introduced and then immediately exploited by being applied to real probability theory. Classical results, such as Kolmogorov's Strong Law of Large Numbers and Three-Series Theorem are proved by martingale techniques. A proof of the Central Limit Theorem is also given. The author's style is entertaining and inimitable with pedagogy to the fore. Exercises play a vital role; there is a full quota of interesting and challenging problems, some with hints.

Probability, Markov Chains, Queues, and Simulation provides a modern and authoritative treatment of the mathematical processes that underlie performance modeling. The detailed explanations of mathematical derivations and numerous illustrative examples make this textbook readily accessible to graduate and advanced undergraduate students taking courses in which stochastic processes play a fundamental role. The textbook is relevant to a wide variety of fields, including computer science, engineering, operations research, statistics, and mathematics. The textbook looks at the fundamentals of probability theory, from the basic concepts of set-based probability, through probability distributions, to bounds, limit theorems, and the laws of large numbers. Discrete and continuous-time Markov chains are analyzed from a theoretical and computational point of view. Topics include the Chapman-Kolmogorov equations; irreducibility; the potential, fundamental, and reachability matrices; random walk problems; reversibility; renewal processes; and the numerical computation of stationary and transient distributions. The M/M/1 queue and its extensions to more general birth-death processes are analyzed in detail, as are queues with phase-type arrival and service processes. The M/G/1 and G/M/1 queues are solved using embedded Markov chains; the busy period, residual service time, and priority scheduling are treated. Open and closed queueing networks are analyzed. The final part of the book addresses the mathematical basis of simulation. Each chapter of the textbook concludes with an extensive set of exercises. An instructor's solution manual, in which all exercises are completely worked out, is also available (to professors only). Numerous examples illuminate the mathematical theories Carefully detailed explanations of mathematical derivations guarantee a valuable pedagogical approach Each chapter concludes with an extensive set of exercises

This bestseller continues to provide engineering students with a comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics through its use of concepts, models, methodology, and lively and realistic examples and applications.

Introduction CONCEPTUAL OUTLINE OF THIS COLLECTION OF PAPERS A few introductory words may serve to guide the reader through the diverse topics of these collected papers. In a manner of speaking, there is only one topic: the role of probability-interpreted always as subjective probability-in thinking and acting. The assessing of probabilities, as expressions of subjective feeling, and reasoning with probabilities, obeying objectively necessary conditions of coherency, constitute the logic of uncertainty; they are the general tools of our minds along with formal logic, which is concerned with the ideal case of absolute certainty.

The Third Edition of this engineering management text retains the pedagogical strengths that made the previous editions so popular, including the use of real data in the examples. There is a new chapter on nonparametric statistics, a new section on p-values in hypothetical testing, new coverage of residual analysis, and more material on quality control and experiment design. Provides chapter introductions, including interesting historical information, and there are more illustrations and many new problems. Contains enough material for a two-term course and the broad coverage permits instructors flexibility in choice of topics.

This book describes how to set up and analyze models of real-life phenomena that involve elements of chance. Includes many worked examples and exercises.

This undergraduate text distils the wisdom of an experienced teacher and yields, to the mutual advantage of students and their instructors, a sound and stimulating introduction to probability theory. The accent is on its essential role in statistical theory and practice, built on the use of illustrative examples and the solution of problems from typical examination papers. Mathematically-friendly for first and second year undergraduate students, the book is also a reference source for workers in a wide range of disciplines who are aware that even the simpler aspects of probability theory are not simple.Provides a sound and stimulating introduction to probability theoryPlaces emphasis on the role of probability theory in statistical theory and practice, built on the use of illustrative examples and the solution of problems from typical examination papers

The Third Edition emphasizes a concentrated revision of Parts II & III (leaving Part I virtually intact). The later sections show greater elaboration of the basic concepts of stochastic processes, typical sequences of random variables, and a greater emphasis on realistic methods of spectral estimation and analysis. There are problems, exercises, and applications throughout. Aimed at senior/graduate students in electrical engineering, math, and physics departments.

This volume contains twenty-two original contributions by leading scientists in many important areas of probability theory and its applications. The material also includes significant new results. Together this collection of papers provides a good state-of-the-art survey of current research in the following areas: inequalities; limit theorems; renewal theory and reliability theory; characterizations of distributions; infinite divisibility of polynomials of normal variables; limiting distributions for order statistics; stochastic processes; functional equations in engineering model building; and probabilistic number theory.

This is a textbook on applied probability and statistics with computer science applications for students at the upper undergraduate level. It may also be used as a self study book for the practicing computer science professional. The successful first edition of this book proved extremely useful to students who need to use probability, statistics and queueing theory to solve problems in other fields, such as engineering, physics, operations research, and management science. The book has also been successfully used for courses in queueing theory for operations research students. This second edition includes a new chapter on regression as well as more than twice as many exercises at the end of each chapter. While the emphasis is the same as in the first edition, this new book makes more extensive use of available personal computer software, such as Minitab and Mathematica.

Going beyond the conventional mathematics of probability theory, this study views the subject in a wider context. It discusses new results, along with applications of probability theory to a variety of problems. The book contains many exercises and is suitable for use as a textbook on graduate-level courses involving data analysis. Aimed at readers already familiar with applied mathematics at an advanced undergraduate level or higher, it is of interest to scientists concerned with inference from incomplete information.

For a one- or two-semester course; calculus background presumed, no previous study of probability or statistics is required. Written by three veteran statisticians, this applied introduction to probability and statistics emphasizes the existence of variation in almost every process, and how the study of probability and statistics helps us understand this variation. Designed for students with a background in calculus, this book continues to reinforce basic mathematical concepts with numerous real-world examples and applications to illustrate the relevance of key concepts.
