An Introduction to Measure-Theoretic Probability, Second Edition, employs a classical approach to teaching students of statistics, mathematics, engineering, econometrics, finance, and other disciplines measure-theoretic probability. This book requires no prior knowledge of measure theory, discusses all its topics in great detail, and includes one chapter on the basics of ergodic theory and one chapter on two cases of statistical estimation. There is a considerable bend toward the way probability is actually used in statistical research, finance, and other academic and nonacademic applied pursuits.
- Provides in a concise, yet detailed way, the bulk of probabilistic tools essential to a student working toward an advanced degree in statistics, probability, and other related fields
- Includes extensive exercises and practical examples to make complex ideas of advanced probability accessible to graduate students in statistics, probability, and related fields
- All proofs presented in full detail and complete and detailed solutions to all exercises are available to the instructors on book companion site
George G. Roussas received his B.A. in Mathematics at the University of Athens, Greece, and his Ph.D. in Statistics at the University of California, Berkeley. Roussas is currently Professor and Associate Dean of Statistics at the University of California, Davis. His teaching career began at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Then he was a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Patras, Greece, and also served as the Dean of the College of Sciences and as Chancellor of that University. At the University of Crete, Greece, Roussas served as Vice President of Academic Affairs. Roussas has published several books, and had more than 65 research papers published in refereed journals. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the American Statistical Association, and the Royal Statistical Society, and is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute. Finally, Roussas is the Associate Editor of two journals, Statistics and Probability Letters, and Nonparametric Statistics.
