| Summary, etc |
"This self-contained book integrates the use of computers with introductory probability and R, and all new ideas are introduced and illustrated using real computer-related examples.R, the widely-popular software, is not only used as a tool for calculation and data analysis, but also to illustrate the concepts of probability and to simulate distributions. Most examples are related to computing and cover a wide range of computer science applications, including testing program performance, measuring response time and cpu time, estimating the reliability of components and systems, evaluating algorithms and queueing systems, and improving wireless communication. This new edition contains a new chapter on discrete bivariate distributions. This chapter covers distribution of two discrete random variables, joint probabilities, and independence. A Wiley companion site provides data and solutions to problems within the book. Applied examples and exercises in areas in computing that have evolved over the last ten years will be included. Like the first edition, this edition will be primarily addressed to students of computer science and related areas. The second edition will bring this book up to date and will provide extra sections and examples to incorporate new areas of development, such as data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotics"-- |

DESCRIPTION<br/>Provides a comprehensive introduction to probability with an emphasis on computing-related applications<br/><br/>This self-contained new and extended edition outlines a first course in probability applied to computer-related disciplines. As in the first edition, experimentation and simulation are favoured over mathematical proofs. The freely down-loadable statistical programming language R is used throughout the text, not only as a tool for calculation and data analysis, but also to illustrate concepts of probability and to simulate distributions. The examples in Probability with R: An Introduction with Computer Science Applications, Second Edition cover a wide range of computer science applications, including: testing program performance; measuring response time and CPU time; estimating the reliability of components and systems; evaluating algorithms and queuing systems. <br/><br/>Chapters cover: The R language; summarizing statistical data; graphical displays; the fundamentals of probability; reliability; discrete and continuous distributions; and more. <br/><br/>This second edition includes:<br/><br/>improved R code throughout the text, as well as new procedures, packages and interfaces;<br/>updated and additional examples, exercises and projects covering recent developments of computing;<br/>an introduction to bivariate discrete distributions together with the R functions used to handle large matrices of conditional probabilities, which are often needed in machine translation;<br/>an introduction to linear regression with particular emphasis on its application to machine learning using testing and training data;<br/>a new section on spam filtering using Bayes theorem to develop the filters;<br/>an extended range of Poisson applications such as network failures, website hits, virus attacks and accessing the cloud;<br/>use of new allocation functions in R to deal with hash table collision, server overload and the general allocation problem.<br/>The book is supplemented with a Wiley Book Companion Site featuring data and solutions to exercises within the book.<br/><br/>Primarily addressed to students of computer science and related areas, Probability with R: An Introduction with Computer Science Applications, Second Edition is also an excellent text for students of engineering and the general sciences. Computing professionals who need to understand the relevance of probability in their areas of practice will find it useful. |
