Probability Distributions Involving Gaussian Random Variables A Handbook for Engineers and Scientists

This handbook, now available in paperback, brings together a comprehensive collection of mathematical material in one location. It also offers a variety of new results interpreted in a form that is particularly useful to engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians. The handbook is not specific to fixed research areas, but rather it has a generic flavor that can be applied by anyone working with probabilistic and stochastic analysis and modeling. Classic results are presented in their final form without derivation or discussion, allowing for much material to be condensed into one volume. Concise compilation of disparate formulae saves time in searching different sources Focused application has broad interest for many disciplines: engineers, computer scientists, statisticians, physicists; as well as any researcher working in probabilistic and stochastic analysis and modeling in the natural or social sciences. The material is timeless and has intrinsic value to today?'s and tomorrow?'s practicing engineers and scientists Endorsed by top experts in field worldwide, ensuring quality and value Excerpts from reviews of the hardbound edition: The reference book "Probability Distributions Involving Gaussian Random Variables," authored by Dr. Marvin Simon, has become, in a very short time frame, one of the mostuseful aids to research in the field of digital communications that has come out in many years. It has replaced various other well known resources because of its concentration of relevant, timely, and easily accessible results. ?Dr. Larry Milstein, UCSD Thisis a unique book and an invaluable reference for engineers and scientists in the fields of electrical engineering, mathematics and statistics. There is no other single reference book that covers Gaussian and Gaussian-related distributions of random variables that are encountered in research work and practice. This is a reference book that I recommend to all my graduate students working in the area of telecommunication system analysis and design. ?Dr. John Proakis, Northeastern University and UCSD ? this book collected all these results (after double-checking them) with unified notations and in an organized fashion made it very useful for many of the graduate students and researchers doing analytical type of investigations. Not only did I use it, I also recommend it to my graduate students and many of our papers benefited from the formulas available in the handbook?'. The handbook saves valuable time for all the researchers that rely on it to simplify their results or write them in terms of well-known functions that are available in popular mathematical packages such as Matlab and Mathematica. ?Dr. Mohamed-Slim Alouini, Texas A&M University The distributions and associated statistics described in the book apply to systems like mobile and cellular communications, vehicular technology, radar systems, spread spectrum systems, and optical communication systems. The book, with its comprehensive information in analytical, tabular, and graphical form, is an invaluable tool for scientists and engineers. ?Dr. Sergio Benedetto, Politecnico di Torino The book "Probability Distributions Involving Gaussian Random Variables" is a handy research reference in areas such ascommunication systems. I have found the book useful for my own work, since it presents probability distributions that are difficult to find elsewhere and that have non-obvious derivations. ?Dr. Gordon St?ber, Georgia Institute of Technology A unique and invaluable reference for researchers in communications, signal processing, math, statistics, and many other scientific fields. I have used this book in my own research and also recommended it to colleagues in universities and in industry, as well as to graduate students. ?Dr. Andrea Goldsmith, Stanford University In my research in wireless communicaSimon, Marvin K. is the author of 'Probability Distributions Involving Gaussian Random Variables A Handbook for Engineers and Scientists', published 2006 under ISBN 9780387346571 and ISBN 0387346570.
