Probability theory. 3rd edition. Reprint of of the 1963 original published by Van Nostrand. (English) Zbl 1368.60005
Mineola, NY: Dover Publications. xvi, 685 p. (2017).
Publisher’s description: In the decades following its 1963 publication, this volume served as the standard advanced text in probability theory. Geared toward graduate students and professionals in the field of probability and statistics, the treatment offers extensive introductory material and is suitable for an undergraduate course in probability theory. The first four chapters cover notions of measure theory plus general concepts and tools of probability theory. Subsequent chapters explore sums of independent random variables, the central limit problem, conditioning, independence and dependence, ergodic theorems, and second order properties. The final two chapters examine foundations, martingales, and decomposability as well as Markov processes.
