Building and Testing Probability Models

by Fergus Daly

There are many books which describe the theory of probability models, but none that set out to evaluate a specific model's viability and accuracy on differing sets of data using real data from a variety of application areas. This unique book undertakes this evaluation for all of the commonly
used models, as well as some of the more rare probability models. This is an ideal text for students who need to learn the advantages and disadvantages of the various models and will be a vital addition to a researcher's library.
