Probability Models, Volume 51 in the Handbook of Statistics series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on Stein’s methods, Probabilities and thermodynamics third law, Random Matrix Theory, General tools for understanding fluctuations of random variables, An approximation scheme to compute the Fisher-Rao distance between multivariate normal distributions, Probability Models Applied to Reliability and Availability Engineering, Backward stochastic differential equation- Stochastic optimization theory and viscous solution of HJB equation, and much more.
Additional chapters cover Probability Models in Machine Learning, The recursive stochastic algorithm, randomized urn models and response-adaptive randomization in clinical trials, Random matrix theory: local laws and applications, KOO methods and their high-dimensional consistencies in some multivariate models, Fourteen Lectures on Inference for Stochastic Processes, and A multivariate cumulative damage model and some applications.
