Founded in 1971, the Saint-Flour Probability Summer School is organised every year by the mathematics department of the Universite Blaise Pascal at Clermont-Ferrand, France, and held in the pleasant surroundings of an 18th century seminary building in the city of Saint-Flour, located in the French Massif Central, at an altitude of 900 m.

It attracts a mixed audience of up to 70 PhD students, instructors and researchers interested in probability theory, statistics, and their applications, and lasts 2 weeks. Each summer it provides, in three high-level courses presented by...

This practical guide eases you into the subject of probability using familiar items such as coins, cards, and dice. As you progress, you will master concepts such as addition and multiplication rules, odds and expectation, probability distributions, and more. You'll learn the relationship between probability and normal distribution, as well as how to...

What gives statistics its unity as a science? Stephen Stigler sets forth the seven foundational ideas of statistics--a scientific discipline related to but distinct from mathematics and computer science.

Even the most basic idea--aggregation, exemplified by averaging--is counterintuitive. It allows one to gain information by discarding information, namely, the individuality of the observations. Stigler's second pillar, information measurement, challenges the importance of "big data" by noting that observations are not all equally important: the amount of information in...

Il libro si pone l obiettivo di introdurre i due modelli statistici maggiormente utilizzati nel settore dello scoring di accettazione, quali il modello logistico e l analisi discriminante. In questo contesto, sulla base delle informazioni in possesso al momento della richiesta, si deve prendere la decisione se concedere o meno il finanziamento. Di conseguenza, le tecniche che si utilizzano hanno tutte la caratteristica di suddividere la potenziale clientela in due insiemi: i 'buoni' ed i 'cattivi' pagatori. L impostazione del libro e di tipo statistico: particolare enfasi e posta sul fatto...
