PY - 2013/// CY - New York PB - Springer KW - Mathematics KW - Probability & Statistics KW - Probabilities KW - Stochastic Processes N1 - Includes index and references; Introductory Measure Theory -- Random Variables -- Inequalities -- Characteristic Functions -- Convergence -- The Law of Large Numbers -- The Central Limit Theorem -- The Law of the Iterated Logarithm -- Limit Theorems Extensions and Generalizations -- Martingales N2 - Like its predecessor, this book starts from the premise that, rather than being a purely mathematical discipline, probability theory is an intimate companion of statistics. The book starts with the basic tools, and goes on to cover a number of subjects in detail, including chapters on inequalities, characteristic functions and convergence. This is followed by a thorough treatment of the three main subjects in probability theory: the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, and the law of the iterated logarithm. After a discussion of generalizations and extensions, the book concludes with an extensive chapter on martingales. The new edition is comprehensively updated, including some new material as well as around a dozen new references ER -
