The two parts of this book treat probability and statistics as mathematical disciplines and with the same degree of rigour as is adopted for other branches of applied mathematics at the level of a British honours degree. They contain the minimum information about these subjects that any honours graduate in mathematics ought to know. They are written primarily for general mathematicians, rather than for statistical specialists or for natural scientists who need to use statistics in their work. No previous knowledge of probability or statistics is assumed, though familiarity with calculus and li

Probability theory has grown from a modest study of simple games of change to a subject with application in almost every branch of knowledge and science. In this exciting book, a number of distinguished probabilists discuss their current work and applications in an easily understood manner. Chapters show that new directions in probability have been suggested by the application of probability to other fields and other disciplines of mathematics. The study of polymer chains in chemistry led to the study of self-avoiding random walks; the study of the Ising model in physics and models for epidemi

A new look at weak-convergence methods in metric spaces-from a master of probability theory In this new edition, Patrick Billingsley updates his classic work Convergence of Probability Measures to reflect developments of the past thirty years. Widely known for his straightforward approach and reader-friendly style, Dr. Billingsley presents a clear, precise, up-to-date account of probability limit theory in metric spaces. He incorporates many examples and applications that illustrate the power and utility of this theory in a range of disciplines-from analysis and number theory to statistics, en

This textbok is designed for graduate students in probability theory. It merges measure theory with probability theory, and rather than deal only with "random variables" it also looks at "random objects". There is a chapter of introductory material for advanced topics, as well as over 1000 exercises, ranging from gambling theory to concrete calculations involving random sets. All of the problems in the exercises are designed to help students get beyond mere rote learning of theorems and proofs to a deep intuitive feel for the far-reaching implications of the theory. Solutions are provided for

High dimensional probability is a rapidly growing field. Many new ideas, results, and directions in this evolving subject are explored in this volume, an outgrowth of the Second International Conference on High Dimensional Probability, held at the University of Washington, Seattle. The notion of high dimensional probability, as represented by these papers, encompasses a wide range of topics in both statistics and probability theory, centering around the development and application of powerful methods in the areas of probability on Banach spaces, Gaussian process theory, and strong and distribu
