The debate between the proponents of "classical" and "Bayesian" statistica} methods continues unabated. It is not the purpose of the text to resolve those issues but rather to demonstrate that within

This book includes the probability of events, discrete random variables and their distribution, continuous random variables and their distribution, digital characteristics of random variables, law of large numbers and central limit theorem, sampling distribution, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing.All of the authors of this book have the background of visiting British and American university. The writing language is easy to understand, and the content has moderate difficulty.This book can be used for the teaching of probability and statistics courses of Sino-foreign cooperation projects and foreign student programs in universities of science and engineering (non-mathematics majors), as well as bilingual teaching of probability and statistics.本書內容包括事件的概率、離散型隨機變量及其分佈、連續型隨機變量及其分佈、隨機變量的數字特徵、大數定律與中心極限定理、抽樣分佈、參數估計和假設檢驗。本書編著者均有英美訪學背景，英文語言簡單易懂，寫作簡約，內容難易適中，便於學習。本書可供理工科大學(非數學專業)中外合作辦學項目和留

In recent years cosmologists have advanced from largely qualitative models of the Universe to precision modelling using Bayesian methods, in order to determine the properties of the Universe to high accuracy. This timely book is the only comprehensive introduction to the use of Bayesian methods in cosmological studies, and is an essential reference for graduate students and researchers in cosmology, astrophysics and applied statistics. The first part of the book focuses on methodology, setting the basic foundations and giving a detailed description of techniques. It covers topics including the estimation of parameters, Bayesian model comparison, and separation of signals. The second part explores a diverse range of applications, from the detection of astronomical sources (including through gravitational waves), to cosmic microwave background analysis and the quantification and classification of galaxy properties. Contributions from 24 highly regarded cosmologists and statisticians make
