Engineers and students studying probability and random processes also need to analyze data, and thus need some knowledge of statistics. This book is designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in probability and stochastic processes, demonstrate their applicability to real-world problems, and introduce the basics of statistics. The book's clear writing style and homework problems make it ideal for the classroom or for self- 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aStochastic processes 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aStochastic processes. 676 $a519.2 700 $aIbe$b Oliver C$g(Oliver Chukwudi),$f1947-$0522175 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458476603321 996 $aFundamentals of applied probability and random processes$92205617 997 $aUNINA
