A Birkhäuser Boston book

- Lays the foundation for solving problems in reliability, insurance, finance, and credit risk
- Exercises and solutions to selected problems accompany each chapter
- Many of the chapters that examine central topics in applied probability can be read independently, allowing both instructors and readers extra flexibility in the use of the book
The key subjects covered include:
* Exponential distributions and the Poisson process
* Parametric lifetime distributions
* Non-parametric lifetime distribution classes
* Multivariate exponential extensions
* Association and dependence
* Renewal theory
* Problems in reliability, insurance, finance, and credit risk
This work differs from traditional probability textbooks in a number of ways. Since no measure theory knowledge is necessary to understand the material and coverage of the central limit theorem and normal theory related topics has been omitted, the work may be used as a single-semester senior undergraduate or first-year graduate textbook as well as in a second course on probability modeling.

Probability and Statistical Models is for a wide audience including advanced undergraduate and beginning-level graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in mathematics, statistics, engineering, and economics.
