Explores stochastic models for communications, covering mean, variance, characteristic functions, inequalities, various discrete and continuous random variables, and properties of different distributions.
Covers Generalized Linear Models, likelihood, deviance, link functions, sampling methods, Poisson regression, over-dispersion, and alternative regression models.
Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
