Probabilistic expert systems are graphical networks which support the modeling of uncertainty and decisions in large complex domains, while retaining ease of calculation. Building on original research by the authors, this book gives a thorough and rigorous mathematical treatment of the underlying ideas, structures, and algorithms. The book will be of interest to researchers in both artificial intelligence and statistics, who desire an introduction to this fascinating and rapidly developing field. The book, winner of the DeGroot Prize 2002, the only book prize in the field of statistics, is...

The pOint of view behind the present work is that the connection between a statistical model and a statistical analysis-is a dua lity (in a vague sense). In usual textbooks on mathematical statistics it is often so that the statistical model is given in advance and then various in ference principles are applied to deduce the statistical ana lysis to be performed. It is however possible to reverse the above procedure: given that one wants to perform a certain statistical analysis, how can this be expressed in terms of a statistical model? In that sense we think of the statistical analysis and...

Thorvald Nicolai Thiele was a brilliant Danish researcher of the 19th Century. He was a professor of Astronomy and founder of Hafnia, the first Danish private insurance company. Thiele worked in astronomy, mathematics, actuarial science and statistics, his most spectacular contributions were in the latter two areas, where his published work was far ahead of his time.Thiele: Pioneer in Statistics also contains three papers, written by A. Hald and S.L. Lauritzen which describes Thiele's statistical work in modern terms and puts them into an historical perspective. The texts are supplemented...
