Probability and Random Processes
by Krishnan (9780471703549)

A resource for probability AND random processes, with hundreds of worked examples and probability and Fourier transform tables



This survival guide in probability and random processes eliminates the need to pore through several resources to find a certain formula or table. It offers a compendium of most distribution functions used by communication engineers, queuing theory specialists, signal processing engineers, biomedical engineers, physicists, and students.

Key topics covered include:

• Random variables and most of their frequently used discrete and continuous probability distribution functions
• Moments, transformations, and convergences of random variables
• Characteristic, generating, and moment-generating functions
• Computer generation of random variates
• Estimation theory and the associated orthogonality principle
• Linear vector spaces and matrix theory with vector and matrix differentiation concepts
• Vector random variables
• Random processes and stationarity concepts
• Extensive classification of random processes
• Random processes through linear systems and the associated Wiener and Kalman filters
• Application of probability in single photon emission tomography (SPECT)

More than 400 figures drawn to scale assist readers in understanding and applying theory.
