A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book is a comprehensive guide to multivariate probability forstudents who have an elementary knowledge of probability and areready to move on to more advanced concepts

• Topics covered include:
• A review of basic probability theory, including core ideasabout random variables
• Bivariate distributions and the general theory of randomvectors
• Relationships between random variables
• Normal linear model and multivariate samplingdistributions
• Generating functions and convergence.

Each section is illustrated with numerous examples. Multivariateprobability deliberately avoids a measure–theoretic approach inorder to make these complex concepts easily accessible to a broadreadership. Attention is restricted to discrete and (absolutely)continuous random variables. Although proofs are given of all themain results, this book is primarily intended to provide readerswith the tools they require to build appropriate probability modelsfor real–life situations. The usefulness of simulation in thisrespect is emphasized throughout the book.
