Handbook of Probabilistic models

Used to define the risk in any engineering project, the development and the appropriate application of probabilistic models is a critical part of the design and analysis process in any engineering operation. A definitive reference for understanding and creating more effective models, Handbook of Probabilistic Models carefully examines the applications of advanced probabilistic models in conventional engineering fields. In this Handbook, practitioners, researchers, and scientist will find detailed explanations of the technical concept, applications of the proposed methods and the respective scientific approaches to solve the problem.

Handbook of Probabilistic Models provides an interdisciplinary approach to create advanced probabilistic models for engineering fields ranging from conventional fields of mechanical engineering, civil engineering to electronics, electrical, earth sciences, climate, agriculture, water resource, mathematical sciences and computer sciences. The authors cover topics such as: minimax probability machine regression, stochastic finite element method, relevance vector machine, logistic regression, Monte Carlo simulations, random matrix, Gaussian process regression, kalman filter, stochastic optimization, maximum likelihood, bayesian inference, bayesian update, kriging, copula-statistical models, etc.
