Probability and Statistics by Example

'In this book, one can find a well-balanced mix of clearly explained theory, several classical and interesting examples which complement and integrate the theory discussed, as well as thought-provoking quotations and humorous sentences which make reading this book very pleasant. ... A particular feature is the presence of worked examples which are aimed at giving explicit guidance about how to make the transition form the theory to the practical issue of solving problems. The results presented are always worked out in detail in a style that is never dry but full of hints about the properties and devices used as well as illustrative pictures to stimulate the reader's attention and insight. ... The title might lead someone to think that this book is merely an introduction, however it is not only for the beginner.' Mathematical Reviews 'Following on from the success of Probability and Statistics by Example: Basic Probability and Statistics, the authors here concentrate on random processes, particularly Markov processes, emphasising models rather than general constructions. Basic mathematical facts are supplied as and when they are needed and historical information is sprinkled throughout.' L'Enseignement Mathematique 'I enjoyed reading this book a great deal ... it is a great way to flesh out the general theory with concrete examples and applications.' MAA Reviews I enjoyed reading this book a great deal... it is a great way to flesh out the general theory with concrete examples and applications. Darren Glass, MAA Reviews In this book one can find a well-balanced mix of clearly explained theory, several classical and interesting examples which complement and integrate the theory discussed as well we though-provoking quotations and humorous sentences which make reading this book very pleasant. Emanuele Taufer, Mathematical Reviews ... I did enjoy browsing through this somewhat baroque book. Rudolf Gruebel, The American Statistician
