In modern computer science software engineering and other fields the need arises to make decisions under uncertainty. Presenting probability and statistical methods simulation techniques and modeling tools Probability and Statistics for Computer Scientists helps students solve problems and make optimal decisions in uncertain conditions select stochastic models compute probabilities and forecasts and evaluate performance of computer systems and networks.After introducing probability and distributions this easy-to-follow textbook provides two course options. The first approach is a probability-oriented course that begins with stochastic processes Markov chains and queuing theory followed by computer simulations and Monte Carlo methods. The second approach is a more standard statistics-emphasized course that focuses on statistical inference estimation hypothesis testing and regression. Assuming one or two semesters of college calculus the book is illustrated throughout with numerous examples exercises figures and tables that stress direct applications in computer science and software engineering. It also provides MATLAB� codes and demonstrations written in simple commands that can be directly translated into other computer languages.By the end of this course advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students should be able to read a word problem or a corporate report realize the uncertainty involved in the described situation select a suitable probability model estimate and test its parameters based on real data compute probabilities of interesting events and other vital characteristics and make appropriate conclusions and forecasts.Read more
