Expert practical and theoretical coverage of runs and scans
This volume presents both theoretical and applied aspects of runs and scans, and illustrates their important role in reliability analysis through various applications from science and engineering. Runs and Scans with Applications presents new and exciting content in a systematic and cohesive way in a single comprehensive volume, complete with relevant approximations and explanations of some limit theorems.
The authors provide detailed discussions of both classical and current problems, such as:

With a focus on models and tangible applications of probability from physics, computer science, and other related disciplines, this book successfully guides readers through fundamental coverage for enhanced understanding of the problems. Topical coverage includes: bivariate discrete random, continuous random, and stochastic independence-multivariate random variables; transformations of random variables; covariance-correlation; multivariate distributions; the Central Limit Theorem; stochastic processes; and more. The book is ideal for a second course in probability and for researchers and...
