Description for Probability and Statistical Models: Foundations for Problems in Reliability and Financial Mathematics
Hardcover.
Probability models are now a vital componentof every scienti c investigation. This book is intended to introduce basic ideas in stochastic modeling, with emphasis on models and techniques. These models lead to well-known parametric lifetime distributions, such as exponential, Weibull, and gamma distributions, as well as the change-point and mixture models. They also motivate us to consider more general notions of nonparametric lifetime distribution classes. Particular attention has been paid to their applications in reliability, insurance mathematics, and economics. The following topics are the focus in this volume: 1. Exponential Distributions and the Poisson Process; 2. Parametric Lifetime Distributions; 3. ... Read more

Reviews for Probability and Statistical Models: Foundations for Problems in Reliability and Financial Mathematics
From the reviews: “This is a nice introductory textbook on stochastic processes, basically devoted to the Poisson process and its variants. The basic results are well illustrated by many examples with many problems at the end of each chapter. … The book is suitable for students that do not have an advanced training in the measure-theoretic aspects of probability ...
