This textbook teaches the essential background and skills for understanding and quantifying uncertainties in a computational simulation, and for predicting the behavior of a system under those uncertainties.
Game-theoretic probability and finance come of age Glenn Shafer and Vladimir Vovk s Probability and Finance, published in 2001, showed that perfect-information games can be used to define mathematical probability.
This illustrated textbook for biologists provides a refreshingly clear and authoritative introduction to the key ideas of sampling, experimental design, and statistical analysis.
The aim of this book is to show that the probabilistic formalisms of classical statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics can be unified on the basis of a general contextual probabilistic model.
We wrote this book to introduce graduate students and research workers in var- ious scientific disciplines to the use of information-theoretic approaches in the analysis of empirical data.
Nonparametric statistical methods minimize the number of assumptions that need to be made about the distribution of data being analysed, unlike classical parametric methods.
Analysis of Genetic Association Studies is both a graduate level textbook in statistical genetics and genetic epidemiology, and a reference book for the analysis of genetic association studies.
