精彩摘录
  • "虽然上述定义很直观,而且大多数读者也一直这么认为,但它却有很严重的缺陷... 英文原文:Although the preceding definition is certainly intuitively pleasing and should always be kept in mind by the reader, it possesses a serious drawback .."
  • "P(E) = P(EF) + P(EFc) = P(E|F)P(F) + P(E|Fc)P(Fc) 这个公式说明了,事件E发生的概率,等于在F发生的条件下E的条件概率,与在F不发生条件下E发生的条件概率的加权平均,其中加在每个条件概率上的权重就是作为条件的事件的发生的概率。"
  • "保险公司认为人分成两类,一类为容易出事故的人,一类为安全者。他们的统计表明,一个容易出事故的人一年内发生事故的概率是0.4,安全者出事故的概率为0.2。若第一类人占总人数的30%。那么如果现在有一个人来投保,那么该人在保单一年内将出事故的可能性为多少? 解:0.4 * 0.3 + 0.2 * (1-0.3)"
  • "在某刑事案件调查中,调查员有60%的把握认为嫌疑人犯罪,假设现在得到了一个新的证据,表明罪犯有某个身体特征,如果有20%的人有这个特征,那么在嫌疑犯具有这个特征的情况下,检察官认为他犯罪的可能性是多大?"
  • "那么当发现新的证据时,假设成立的概率也会随之发生变化,我们可以表示为假设的优势的变化,其中优势的定义如下: P(A) / P(Ac) = P(A) / (1 - P(A))"
  • "假设原来的H以概率P(H)成立,然后发现了新的证据E,这个时候优势变为: P(H|E) = P(E|H)P(H) / P(E) P(Hc|E) = P(E|Hc)P(Hc) / P(Hc) P(H|E) / P(Hc|E) = (P(H) / P(Hc)) * (P(E|H)/P(E|Hc))"
  • "3.34 在例3f中,假设新的证据从不同可能的解释,事实上,证据有90%的可能造假。 英文原文:3.34. In Example 3f,suppose that the new evidence is subject to different possible interpretations and in fact shows only that it is 90 percent likely that the craminal possesses the characteristic in question."
  • "An infinite sequence of independent trials is to be performed. Each trial results in a success with probability p and a failure with probability 1 − p. What is the probabil ity that (c) all trials result in successes?"

用户评论
Prof Tony Cai. STAT 430. 例题讲解特别详细,习题难度从易到登天都有。内容特别丰富的一本书
大二下《概率论与随机过程(1)》参考教材,国外的经典教材,即使是英文版读起来也非常流畅舒适,语言简单,例子循序渐进而且非常丰富,非常适合初学者自学使用。希望国内也可以多一些这样的高质量教材。
虽然不喜欢 probability,但是书确实写的不错。
浅显易懂
Create a big picture of probability theory.
初学者建议去读mit的introduction to probability by john tsitsiklis,那本更友好一些;这本书从chapter 4还是5就开始逻辑跳跃明显了,另外习题也很难,感觉此书适合作为补充
我也是第一次发现有能让人读起来兴奋得心怦怦跳的课本
作为a first course(或者通识读本)非常之合格,但私以为一千道习题真的没必要刷,有功夫可以去学学the second course了。
