In more than eighty original contributions, it illustrates the extent to which Mathematics can help manage uncertainty, a factor that is inherent to real life. Today it goes without saying that, in order to model experiments and systems and to analyze related outcomes and data, it is necessary to consider formal ideas and develop scientific approaches and techniques for dealing with uncertainty. Mathematics is crucial in this endeavor, as this book demonstrates. As Professor Pedro Gil highlighted twenty years ago, there are several well-known mathematical branches for this purpose, including Mathematics of chance (Probability and Statistics), Mathematics of communication (Information Theory), and Mathematics of imprecision (Fuzzy Sets Theory and others). These branches often intertwine, since different sources of uncertainty can coexist, and they are not exhaustive. While most of the papers presented here address the three aforementioned fields, some hail from other Mathematical disciplines such as Operations Research; others, in turn, put the spotlight on real-world studies and applications. The intended audience of this book is mainly statisticians, mathematicians and computer scientists, but practitioners in these areas will certainly also find the book a very interesting read. 000826713 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 6, 2018). 000826713 650_0 $$aMathematical statistics. 000826713 650_0 $$aUncertainty$$xMathematical models. 000826713 7001_ $$aGil, Eduardo,$$eeditor. 000826713 7001_ $$aGil, Eva,$$eeditor. 000826713 7001_ $$aGil, Juan,$$d1968-$$eeditor. 000826713 7001_ $$aGil, María Á.$$q(Maria-Ángeles),$$eeditor. 000826713 7001_ $$aGil, Pedro,$$ehonouree. 000826713 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z331973847X$$z9783319738475$$w(OCoLC)1015240389 000826713 830_0 $$aStudies in systems, decision and control ;$$vv. 142. 000826713 852__ $$bebk 000826713 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-73848-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000826713 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:826713$$pGLOBAL_SET 000826713 980__ $$aEBOOK 000826713 980__ $$aBIB 000826713 982__ $$aEbook 000826713 983__ $$aOnline 000826713 994__ $$a92$$bISE
