The book also presents a harmonised view of frequentist and Bayesian approaches to inference, emphasising their complementary value. The aim is to steer a middle course between the "cookbook" style and an overly dry mathematical statistics style. The treatment is driven by real physics examples throughout, but developed with a level of mathematical clarity and rigour appropriate to mid-career physics undergraduates. Exercises and solutions are included.Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791Física matemàticathubEstadística matemàticathubProbabilitatsthubPhysicsProbabilitiesStatistics AstronomyAstrophysicsStatistical physicsDynamical systemsMathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Probability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17020Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Llibres electrònicsthubFísica matemàticaEstadística matemàticaProbabilitatsPhysics.Probabilities.Statistics .Astronomy.Astrophysics.Statistical physics.Dynamical systems.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology.Complex Systems.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.530.15519.2Lawrence Andyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791981MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910349511003321Probability in Physics2504157UNINA
