  • ""In this introductory chapter, the concepts of a field and of a [sigma]-field are introduced, they are illustrated bymeans of examples, and some relevant basic results are derived. Also, the concept of a monotone class is defined and its relationship to certain fields and [sigma]-fields is investigated. Given a collection of measurable spaces, their product space is defined, and some basic properties are established. The concept of a measurable mapping is introduced, and its relation to certain [sigma]-fields is studied.

  • "Introduction to Probability, Second Edition, is written for upper-level undergraduate students in statistics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, operations research, actuarial science, biological sciences, economics, physics, and some of the social sciences. With his trademark clarity and economy of language, the author explains important concepts of probability, while providing useful exercises and examples of real world applications for students to consider. After introducing fundamental probability concepts, the book proceeds to topics including special distributions, the joint probability density function, covariance and correlation coefficients of two random variables, and more. Demonstrates the applicability of probability to many human activities with examples and illustrationsDiscusses probability theory in a mathematically rigorous, yet accessible wayEach section provides relevant proofs, and is followed by exercises and useful hintsAnswers to even-numbered exercises are provided and detailed answers to all exercises are available to instructors on the book companion site."@en

An Introduction to Probability and Statistical Inference provides a plethora of examples for each topic discussed, giving the reader more experience in applying statistical methods to different situations. Contains more than 200 illustrative examples discussed in detail, plus scores of numerical examples and applications Chapters 1-8 can be used independently for an introductory course in probability Provides a substantial number of proofs."
  • "This book provides in a concise, yet detailed way, the bulk of the probabilistic tools that a student working toward an advanced degree in statistics, probability and other related areas, should be equipped with. The approach is classical, avoiding the use of mathematical tools not necessary for carrying out the discussions. All proofs are presented in full detail.* Excellent exposition marked by a clear, coherent and logical devleopment of the subject* Easy to understand, detailed discussion of material* Complete proofs."@en
