Probability, Statistics, and Stochastic Processes for Engineers and Scientists

2020 Taylor & Francis Award Winner for Outstanding New Textbook!

Featuring recent advances in the field, this new textbook presents probability and statistics, and their applications in stochastic processes. This book presents key information for understanding the essential aspects of basic probability theory and concepts of reliability as an application. The purpose of this book is to provide an option in this field that combines these areas in one book, balances both theory and practical applications, and also keeps the practitioners in mind.

• Includes numerous examples using current technologies with applications in various fields of study
• Offers many practical applications of probability in queueing models, all of which are related to the appropriate stochastic processes (continuous time such as waiting time, and fuzzy and discrete time like the classic Gambler's Ruin Problem)
• Presents different current topics like probability distributions used in real-world applications of statistics such as climate control and pollution
• Different types of computer software such as MATLAB^(R), Minitab, MS Excel, and R as options for illustration, programing and calculation purposes and data analysis
• Covers reliability and its application in network queues

2020年泰勒與弗朗西斯傑出新教科書獎得主！這本新教科書介紹了概率和統計以及它們在隨機過程中的應用，並呈現了該領域的最新進展。本書提供了理解基本概率理論和可靠性概念的關鍵信息，並將其應用於實際情境。本書的目的是在一本書中結合這些領域，平衡理論和實際應用，同時考慮到實踐者的需求。

特點：
- 包含使用當前技術在各個研究領域應用的眾多示例。
- 提供了概率在排隊模型中的許多實際應用，這些應用都與相應的隨機過程（如等待時間）以及模糊和離散時間（如經典的賭徒破產問題）相關。
- 介紹了應用於統計學的現實世界應用中使用的概率分佈，如氣候控制和污染。
- 提供了不同類型的計算機軟件（如MATLAB、Minitab、MS Excel和R）作為示例、編程和計算目的以及數據分析的選擇。
- 詳細介紹了可靠性及其在網絡排隊中的應用。
