Applied Stochastic Modelling (Arnold Texts in Statistics)

The practice and theory of statistics has developed rapidly over the past 25 years in tandem with the greatly increased power of computers, and this has revolutionized the way in which statisticians can manipulate and analyze data. This book collates all the basic tools for statistical
modelling and identifies the primary principles that are currently used. As well as covering modern techniques, the material of the book integrates and revises standard probability and statistical theory, and over 50 short Matlab programs are incorporated in the text.
