highly recommended

This user-friendly resource will help you grasp the concepts of probability and stochastic processes, so you can apply them in professional engineering practice. The book presents concepts clearly as a sequence of building blocks that are identified either as an axiom, definition, or theorem. This approach provides a better understanding of the material, which can be used to solve practical problems.

Key Features: The text follows a single model that begins with an experiment consisting of a procedure and observations. The mathematics of discrete random variables appears separately from the mathematics of continuous random variables. Stochastic processes are introduced in Chapter 6, immediately after the presentation of discrete and continuous random variables. Subsequent material, including central limit theorem approximations, laws of large numbers, and statistical inference, then use examples that reinforce stochastic process concepts. An abundance of exercises are provided that help students learn how to put the theory to use.

Best book on the subject I have come across

I have taken three classes on this subject, and I am confident in my recomendation of this text. For a first year M.S. class, I had the misfortune of having the instructor use Stark and Woods, which is overly complicated, dense, and in my opinion, the authors attempt to make the subject more difficult than it really is by including advanced topics, such as parameter estimation, in introductory chapters. This book, on the other hand, goes over all the basics in a very clean and presentable manner. I picked up this book during the class using Stark and Woods, and my performance increased drastically. This is an excellent reference and text for self study. A real life saver as well. Only complaint: it would be nice to have solutions to select problems. Most people will tell you that the only way to learn the subject is through practice, but as far as learning pricipals, this book is spot on.

A better book to understand Probability and Random Processes

I have gone through many books, including the one by Papoulis, to understand the concepts behind Random processes. There was one of the 2 problems in each book: Either the explanation was very poor with very less examples Or the book was too mathematical. No book has addressed and corrected the 2 problems completely till now to my knowledge. But, this book has tried to provide very good reading for any person in electrical engineering as the name itself suggests. Highly recommended for students to have a quick grasp of the subject.

Pretty Good Book

So i bought this book for my engineering probability class. the book is very concise and not as boring as alot of other books I read. Sometimes though its like the material is too vague at times. Sometimes the material is presented rather awkwardly with things like variance coming after all the different types of families of random variables. A good older reference book that has more information should be accompanied with this in case there is some minor confusion. It is still a pretty decent book though you just need a reference every once in a while. The matlab sections at the end of each chapter are pretty neat especially if you are going into an area of engineering with porbability involved and using matlab to model.
