Book Synopsis Runs and Patterns in Probability: Selected Papers by : Anant P. Godbole
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.

Book Synopsis The Doctrine of Chances by : Charles Sanders Peirce
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.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Probability by : David F. Anderson
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.

Book Synopsis The Art of Conjecturing, Together with Letter to a Friend on Sets in Court Tennis by : Jacob Bernoulli
Download or read book The Art of Conjecturing, Together with Letter to a Friend on Sets in Court Tennis written by Jacob Bernoulli and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Part I reprints and reworks Huygens's On Reckoning in Games of Chance. Part II offers a thorough treatment of the mathematics of combinations and permutations, including the numbers since known as "Bernoulli numbers." In Part III, Bernoulli solves more complicated problems of games of chance using that mathematics. In the final part, Bernoulli's crowning achievement in mathematical probability becomes manifest he applies the mathematics of games of chance to the problems of epistemic probability in civil, moral, and economic matters, proving what we now know as the weak law of large numbers."

Book Synopsis A History of Inverse Probability by : Andrew I. Dale
Download or read book A History of Inverse Probability written by Andrew I. Dale and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is thought as necessary to write a Preface before a Book, as it is judged civil, when you invite a Friend to Dinner, to proffer him a Glass of Hock beforehand for a Whet. John Arbuthnot, from the preface to his translation of Huygens's "De Ratiociniis in Ludo Alooe". Prompted by an awareness of the importance of Bayesian ideas in modern statistical theory and practice, I decided some years ago to undertake a study of the development and growth of such ideas. At the time it seemed appropriate to begin such an investigation with an examination of Bayes's Essay towards solving a problem in the doctrine of chances and Laplace's Theorie analytique des probabilites, and then to pass swiftly on to a brief consideration of other nineteenth century works before turning to what would be the main topic of the treatise, videlicet the rise of Bayesian statis tics from the 1950's to the present day. It soon became apparent, however, that the amount of Bayesian work published was such that a thorough investigation of the topic up to the 1980's would require several volumes - and also run the risk of incurring the wrath of extant authors whose writings would no doubt be misrepre sented, or at least be so described. It seemed wise, therefore, to restrict the period and the subject under study in some way, and I decided to con centrate my attention on inverse probability from Thomas Bayes to Karl Pearson.
