Produktbeschreibung

Incorporating a collection of recent results, Polya Urn Models deals with discrete probability through the modern and evolving urn theory and its numerous applications. It looks at how some classical problems of discrete probability have roots in urn models.

Rezensionen

"Pólya Urn Models describes the established theory and details numerous new developments since the seminal 1977 text Urn Models and Their Application: An Approach to Modern Discrete Probability Theory by Johnson and Kotz. ... the second half of Mahmoud's book largely covers new advances since Johnson and Kotz's book ... This latter material makes the current text unique. ... The end-of-chapter exercises (of greatly varying difficulty) have excellent in-depth solutions at the end of the text. ... The book is exceptionally well written, concise, and compelling. The author obviously commands this material, and his enthusiasm is unmistakable."
