The Mathematics of the Uncertain: A Tribute to Pedro Gil (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control Book 142) by Eduardo Gil (PDF)

Description

This book is a tribute to Professor Pedro Gil, who created the Department of Statistics, OR and TM at the University of Oviedo, and a former President of the Spanish Society of Statistics and OR (SEIO). In more than eighty original contributions, it illustrates the extent to which Mathematics can help manage uncertainty, a factor that is inherent to real life. Today it goes without saying that, in order to model experiments and systems and to analyze related outcomes and data, it is necessary to consider formal ideas and develop scientific approaches and techniques for dealing with uncertainty. Mathematics is crucial in this endeavor, as this book demonstrates. As Professor Pedro Gil highlighted twenty years ago, there are several well-known mathematical branches for this purpose, including Mathematics of chance (Probability and Statistics),Mathematics of communication (Information Theory), andMathematics of imprecision (Fuzzy Sets Theory and others).These branches often intertwine, since different sources of uncertainty can coexist, and they are not exhaustive. While most of the papers presented here address the three aforementioned fields, some hail from other Mathematical disciplines such as Operations Research; others, in turn, put the spotlight on real-world studies and applications. The intended audience of this book is mainly statisticians, mathematicians and computer scientists, but practitioners in these areas will certainly also find the book a very interesting read.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐O livro aborda uma grande variedade de modelos matemáticos da incerteza, desde teoria da decisão até processos estocásticos, aplicações de lógica Fuzzy, entre outros. O livro é também bastante grande e pesado, não sendo aconselhado para ficar carregando por aí. O único lado mais negativo que achei é que ele não tem índice remissivo, o que seria muito útil pela grande variedade de temas que ele trata.
