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. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4791 606 $aFísica matemàtica$2thub 606 $aEstadística matemàtica$2thub 606 $aProbabilitats$2thub 606 $aPhysics 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aStatistics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aDynamics 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17020 606 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 606 $aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 7$aFísica matemàtica 615 7$aEstadística matemàtica 615 7$aProbabilitats 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 14$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences. 615 24$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems. 676 $a530.15 676 $a519.2 700 $aLawrence$b Andy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791981 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349511003321 996 $aProbability in Physics$92504157 997 $aUNINA
