The book combines the uses of symbolic algebra with probabilistic/stochastic application and highlights the applications in a variety of contexts. The research explored in each chapter is unified by the use of A Probability Programming Language (APPL) to achieve the modeling objectives. APPL, as a research tool, enables a probabilist or statistician the ability to explore new ideas, methods, and models. Furthermore, as an open-source language, it sets the foundation for future algorithms to augment the original code.  Computational Probability Applications is comprised of fifteen chapters, each presenting a specific application of computational probability using the APPL modeling and computer language. The chapter topics include using inverse gamma as a survival distribution, linear approximations of probability density functions, and also moment-ratio diagrams for univariate distributions. These works highlight interesting examples, often done by undergraduate students and graduate students that can serve as templates for future work. In addition, this book should appeal to researchers and practitioners in a range of fields including probability, statistics, engineering, finance, neuroscience, and economics.International Series in Operations Research & Management Science,0884-8289 ;247Operations researchDecision makingStatisticsProbabilitiesOperations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Statistics and Computing/Statistics Programshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S12008Probability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Operations research.Decision making.Statistics.Probabilities.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Statistics and Computing/Statistics Programs.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.519.2Glen Andrew Gedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLeemis Lawrence Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155328703321Computational Probability Applications1934708UNINA
