Student-Friendly Coverage of Probability, Statistical Methods, Simulation, and Modeling Tools
Incorporating feedback from instructors and researchers who used the previous edition, Probability and Statistics for Computer Scientists, Second Edition helps students understand general methods of stochastic modeling, simulation, and data analysis; make optimal decisions under uncertainty; model and evaluate computer systems and networks; and prepare for advanced probability-based courses. Written in a lively style with simple language, this classroom-tested book can now be used in both one- and two-semester courses.

New to the Second Edition

  • Axiomatic introduction of probability
  • Expanded coverage of statistical inference, including standard errors of estimates and their estimation, inference about variances, chi-square tests for independence and goodness of fit, nonparametric statistics, and bootstrap
  • More exercises at the end of each chapter
  • Additional MATLAB® codes, particularly new commands of the Statistics Toolbox

In-Depth yet Accessible Treatment of Computer Science-Related Topics
Starting with the fundamentals of probability, the text takes students through topics heavily featured in modern computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, and associated fields, such as computer simulations, Monte Carlo methods, stochastic processes, Markov chains, queuing theory, statistical inference, and regression. It also meets the requirements of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Encourages Practical Implementation of Skills
Using simple MATLAB commands (easily translatable to other computer languages), the book provides short programs for implementing the methods of probability and statistics as well as for visualizing randomness, the behavior of random variables and stochastic processes, convergence results, and Monte Carlo simulations. Preliminary knowledge of MATLAB is not required. Along with numerous computer science applications and worked examples, the text presents interesting facts and paradoxical statements. Each chapter concludes with a short summary and many exercises.

Parkland Manual of In-Patient Medicine: An Evidence-Based Guide
Parkland Manual of In-Patient Medicine: An Evidence-Based Guide
Founded in 1894 by the city of Dallas, Parkland Memorial Hospital was established to provide the highest quality medical care to the indigent sick, working poor, and populations with special needs who would otherwise have minimal access to health services. For over 110 years, Parkland’s pledge to provide medical...
Design Engineering: A Manual for Enhanced Creativity
Design Engineering: A Manual for Enhanced Creativity
As with any art, science, or discipline, natural talent is only part of the equation. Consistent success stems from honing your skills, cultivating good techniques, and hard work. Design engineering, a field often considered an intuitive process not amenable to scientific investigation, is no exception. Providing descriptive theory, broad context,...
From Classical Field Theory to Perturbative Quantum Field Theory (Progress in Mathematical Physics (74))
From Classical Field Theory to Perturbative Quantum Field Theory (Progress in Mathematical Physics (74))

This book develops a novel approach to perturbative quantum field theory: starting with a perturbative formulation of classical field theory, quantization is achieved by means of deformation quantization of the underlying free theory and by applying the principle that as much of the classical structure as possible should be...

Programming Microsoft Office 2000 Web Components

When I first started developing information systems at Microsoft, I often looked at Microsoft Excel and lamented that it was not packaged as a collection of reusable components that I could simply pick up and integrate into my applications. At that time, the current version of Excel had a new revolutionary user interface element called a...
