Book Description

This textbook motivates and illustrates the techniques of applied probability by applications in electrical engineering and computer science (EECS). The author presents information processing and communication systems that use algorithms based on probabilistic models and techniques, including web searches, digital links, speech recognition, GPS, route planning, recommendation systems, classification, and estimation.

He then explains how these applications work and, along the way, provides the readers with the understanding of the key concepts and methods of applied probability. Python labs enable the readers to experiment and consolidate their understanding.

The book includes homework, solutions, and Jupyter notebooks. This edition includes new topics such as Boosting, Multi-armed bandits, statistical tests, social networks, queuing networks, and neural networks.

• Showcases techniques of applied probability with applications in EE and CS;
• Presents all topics with concrete applications so students see the relevance of the theory;
• Illustrates methods with Jupyter notebooks that use widgets to enable the users to modify parameters.

• Jean Camille Walrand is a professor emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley. He is a Fellow of the Belgian American Education Foundation and of the IEEE. Additionally, he is a recipient of the Lanchester Prize, the Stephen O. Rice Prize., the IEEE Kobayashi Award, and the ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement Award.

• Introduction to Probability for Data Science (Stanley Chan)

  This book is an introductory textbook in undergraduate probability in the context of data science to emphasize the inseparability between data (computing) and probability (theory) in our time, with examples in both MATLAB and Python.

• Applied Probability (Paul Pfeiffer)

  This book presents a unique blend of theory and applications, with special emphasis on mathematical modeling, computational techniques, and examples from the real world application in industries and science.

• Introduction to Probability, Statistics, and Random Processes

  This book introduces students to probability, statistics, and stochastic processes. It provides a clear and intuitive approach to these topics while maintaining mathematical accuracy. The book contains a large number of solved exercises.

• Foundations of Constructive Probability Theory (Yuen-Kwok Chan)

  This book provides a systematic and general theory of probability within the framework of Constructive Mathematics. It can serve as a parallel introduction into constructive mathematics and rigorous probability theory.

• Introduction to Random Matrices: Theory and Practice

  This is a book for absolute beginners. The aim is to provide a truly accessible introductory account of Random Matrix theory. Most chapters are accompanied by MATLAB codes to guide readers through the numerical check of most analytical results.

• Elementary Probability for Applications (Rick Durrett)

  This clear and lively introduction to probability theory concentrates on the results that are the most useful for applications, including combinatorial probability and Markov chains. Concise and focused, it is designed for students familiar with basic calculus.

• Essentials of Stochastic Processes (Rick Durrett)

  Stochastic processes have become important for many fields, including mathematical finance and engineering. Written by one of the worlds leading probabilists, this book presents recent results previously available only in specialized monographs.

• O'Reilly® Think Bayes: Bayesian Statistics in Python

  If you know how to program, you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas, using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics.
