TY - BOOK AU - Zornig,Peter TI - Probability theory and statistics with real world applications: univariate and multivariate models applications SN - 9783111332208 U1 - 519.5 ZOR-P PY - 2024/// CY - Berlin PB - Walter De Gruyter KW - Mathematical statistics KW - Probabilities KW - Probability and Statistics N1 - The idea of the book is to present a text that is useful for both students of quantitative sciences and practitioners who work with univariate or multivariate probabilistic models. Since the text should also be suitable for self-study, excessive formalism is avoided though mathematical rigor is retained. A deeper insight into the topics is provided by detailed examples and illustrations. The book covers the standard content of a course in probability and statistics. However, the second edition includes two new chapters about distribution theory and exploratory data analysis. The first-mentioned chapter certainly goes beyond the standard material. It is presented to reflect the growing practical importance of developing new distributions. The second new chapter studies intensively one- and bidimensional concepts like assymetry, kurtosis, correlation and determination coefficients. In particular, examples are intended to enable the reader to take a critical look at the appropriateness of the geometrically motivated concepts ER -
