Probability Theory
An Analytic View
2nd Edition
Daniel W. Stroock
Paperback (ISBN-13: 9780521132503), £35.00
This second edition of Daniel W. Stroock's text is suitable for first-year graduate students with a good grasp of introductory, undergraduate
probability theory and a sound grounding in analysis. It is intended to provide readers with an introduction to probability theory and the analytic
ideas and tools on which the modern theory relies. It includes more than 750 exercises. Much of the content has undergone significant revision.
In particular, the treatment of Levy processes has been rewritten, and a detailed account of Gaussian measures on a Banach space is given.

Entropy of Hidden Markov Processes and Connections to Dynamical Systems
Papers from the Banff International Research Station Workshop
Brian Marcus, Karl Petersen, Tsachy Weissman
Paperback (ISBN-13: 9780521111133), £45.00
Hidden Markov processes (HMPs) are important objects of study in many areas of pure and applied mathematics, including information theory,
probability theory, dynamical systems and statistical physics, with applications in electrical engineering, computer science and molecular biology.
This collection of research and survey papers presents important new results and open problems, serving as a unifying gateway for researchers in
these areas. Based on talks given at the Banff International Research Station Workshop, 2007, this volume addresses a central problem of the
subject: computation of the Shannon entropy rate of an HMP. This is a key quantity in statistical physics and information theory, characterising
the fundamental limit on compression and closely related to channel capacity, the limit on reliable communication. Also discussed, from a symbolic
dynamics and thermodynamical viewpoint, is when mappings between dynamical systems map Markov measures to Markov (or Gibbs) measures or allow for
Markov lifts of Markov chains.
Algebra
Representations of Groups A Computational Approach Klaus Lux, Herbert Pahlings
Hardback, (ISBN-13: 9780521768078), £40.00
The representation theory of finite groups has seen rapid growth in recent years with the development of efficient algorithms and computer algebra
systems. This is the first book to provide an introduction to the ordinary and modular representation theory of finite groups with special emphasis
on the computational aspects of the subject. Evolving from courses taught at Aachen University, this well-paced text is ideal for graduate-level
study. The authors provide over 200 exercises, both theoretical and computational, and include worked examples using the computer algebra system
GAP. These make the abstract theory tangible and engage students in real hands-on work. GAP is freely available from www.gap-system.org and readers
can download source code and solutions to selected exercises from the book's web page.
Organisational Studies
Bayesian Decision Analysis
Principles and Practice
Jim Q. Smith, University of Warwick
Hardback, ISBN: 9780521764544, £35.00
Bayesian decision analysis supports principled decision making in complex domains. This textbook takes the reader from a formal analysis of simple
decision problems to a careful analysis of the sometimes very complex and data rich structures confronted by practitioners. The book contains basic
material on subjective probability theory and multi-attribute utility theory, event and decision trees, Bayesian networks, influence diagrams and
causal Bayesian networks. The author demonstrates when and how the theory can be successfully applied to a given decision problem, how data can be
sampled and expert judgements elicited to support this analysis, and when and how an effective Bayesian decision analysis can be implemented.
Evolving from a third-year undergraduate course taught by the author over many years, all of the material in this book will be accessible to a
student who has completed introductory courses in probability and mathematical statistics.

Collecting, Managing, and Assessing Data Using Sample Surveys Peter Stopher, University of Sydney
Paperback, ISBN: 9780521681872
Not yet published - available from October 2011 | £30.00
Collecting, Managing, and Assessing Data Using Sample Surveys provides a thorough, step-by-step guide to the design and implementation of surveys.
Beginning with a primer on basic statistics, the first half of the book takes readers on a comprehensive tour through the basics of survey design.
Topics covered include the ethics of surveys, the design of survey procedures, the design of the survey instrument, how to write questions and how
to draw representative samples. Having shown readers how to design surveys, the second half of the book discusses a number of issues surrounding
their implementation, including repetitive surveys, the economics of surveys, web-based surveys, coding and data entry, data expansion and
weighting, the issue of non-response, and the documenting and archiving of survey data. The book is an excellent introduction to the use of surveys
for graduate students as well as a useful reference work for scholars and professionals.
