Information Geometry (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The subject of information geometry blends several areas of statistics, computer science, physics, and mathematics. The subject evolved from the groundbreaking article published by legendary statistician C.R. Rao in 1945. His works led to the creation of Cramer-Rao bounds, Rao distance, and Rao-Blackawellization. Fisher-Rao metrics and Rao distances play a very important role in geodesics, econometric analysis to modern-day business analytics. The chapters of the book are written by experts in the field who have been promoting the field of information geometry and its applications. - Written by experts for users of information geometry - Basics to advanced readers are equally taken care - Origins and Clarity on Foundations

Rezensionen

"From the cover of the book: "Introduction to probability and statistics for engineers and scientists, now in its trusted Sixth Edition, provides a valuable overview of the subject written in the engaging style of Best-Selling Probability expert and author, Sheldon Ross. The book uniquely emphasizes how probability informs statistical problems to develop an intuitive understanding of the statistical procedures most commonly used by practicing engineers and scientists. Utilizing real data from actual studies across life science, engineering, computing and business, this useful introduction supports reader comprehension through a wide variety of exercises and examples throughout the text. These examples and exercises are combined with updated problem sets and applications to connect probability theory to everyday statistical problems and situations....The book can be very recommended to all readers, students and instructors, who are interested in this field." --zbMath/European Mathematical Society and the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities
