Description
We live in a world where information takes on a life of its own and spreads rapidly. Faster than ever before. For some people, their lives depend on obtaining a steady stream of information as it affects their lives in the most telling ways. The daily news is the simplest example of this phenomenon. It is truly the lifeblood of society and helps us evolve into better informed individuals with every passing day. As one can tell, information on the...

Description
This influential treatise presents upper-level undergraduates and graduate students with a mathematical analysis of choice behavior. It begins with the statement of a general axiom upon which the rest of the book rests; the following three chapters, which may be read independently of each other, are devoted to applications of the theory to substantive problems: psychophysics, utility, and learning. Applications to psychophysics include considerations...

Can you solve the problem of "The Unfair Subway"? Marvin gets off work at random times between 3 and 5 p.m. His mother lives uptown, his girlfriend downtown. He takes the first subway that comes in either direction and eats dinner with the one he is delivered to. His mother complains that he never comes to see her, but he says she has a 50-50 chance. He has had dinner with her twice in the last 20 working days. Explain. Marvin's adventures in probability...

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...

¿Qué probabilidad hay de que llueva mañana? ¿Y de sufrir una caída? ¿Cambia esa probabilidad según mi edad y mi sexo? ¿Debo preocuparme si he dado positivo en una prueba para detectar una enfermedad rara? ¿Qué hay detrás de todas estas preguntas? Pues esta última es la más rápida de responder: la estadística y la probabilidad.
Datos, números, porcentajes y gráficos se han adueñado de nuestro día a día y se han convertido en indispensables...

Les probabilités font partie de la vie du citoyen du XXIe siècle, et ce, dans divers contextes et domains, en santé pour la sélection d'un traitement, en gestion pour le choix d'un investissement, etc. Dans le milieu scolaire, il est donc impératif de développer une pensée probabiliste permettant la prise de décisions éclairées en moment d'incertitude, la modélisation des situations aléatoires et la compréhension de la notion de risque....

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...

Description
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...
