Charalambides, Charalambos A. (Wiley series in probability and statistics See the separate articles on probability or the article on statistics. Statistical analysis depends on the characteristics of particular probability distributions, and the two topics are normally studied together. ) Wiley-Interscience, [c]2005 415 p. $94.95 Charalambides (mathematics, U. of Athens) takes a unique approach by illustrating discrete distribution theory through combinatorial methods, using the reduction approach to conditional distributions of independent random occupancy numbers and using applications to solve problems. He covers basic combinatorics combinatorics (kŏm'bənətôr`ĭks) or combinatorial analysis (kŏm'bĭnətôr`ēəl) and probability, Stirling numbers In mathematics, Stirling numbers arise in a variety of combinatorics problems. They are named after James Stirling, who introduced them in the 18th century. Two different sets of numbers bear this name: the Stirling numbers of the first kind and the Stirling numbers of the second , generalized Stirling and Lah numbers, occupancy distributions and sequential occupancy distributions, convolutions of truncated distributions, and compound and mixture distributions. Hints and answers to exercises are included and each chapter contains references. |
