Random Variables for Scientists and Engineers

Introduction to Random Variables

This book provides an introductory overview of random variables and their transformations. The authors approach the topic with statistics students in mind, along with researchers in various fields who are interested in data analysis.

Mathematical Expectation

The book begins with by defining and explaining mathematical expectation.

Transformations of Random Variables

The authors then discuss transformations of random variables, including distribution functions and special functions.

Joint Probability Distribution

The book also covers joint probability distribution and its applications.

Updated Content

The authors have updated and expanded upon their writing on these topics, which they originally covered in their previous book, Statistics for Scientists and Engineers.
