They also cover some more recent material relating to random algebraic topology and statistical applications. The notes include an introduction to the general theory of Gaussian random fields, treating classical topics such as continuity and boundedness. This is followed by a quick review of geometry, both integral and Riemannian, with an emphasis on tube formulae, to provide the reader with the material needed to understand and use the Gaussian kinematic formula, the main result of the notes. This is followed by chapters on topological inference and random algebraic topology, both of which provide applications of the main results.École d'Été de Probabilités de Saint-Flour ;2019GeometryStatisticsGeometryStatistical Theory and MethodsGeometry.Statistics.Geometry.Statistical Theory and Methods.519.23Adler Robert J103626Taylor Jonathan1229526Ecole d'ete de probabilites de Saint-Flour.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484788603321Topological complexity of smooth random functions4197033UNINA
