Length Distributions of Edges in Planar Stationary and Isotropic STIT Tessellations

A Global Construction of Homogeneous Planar STIT Tessellations

Rolf Steyer

This book bridges the gap between books on probability theory and statistics by providing the probabilistic concepts estimated and tested in the analysis of variance, regression analysis, factor analysis, structural equation modeling, hierarchical linear models, and analysis of qualitative data. The authors emphasize the theory of conditional expectations that is also fundamental to conditional independence and conditional distributions. Key features: Presents a rigorous and detailed mathematical treatment of probability theory, focusing on concepts that are fundamental to understand what we are estimating in applied statistics Explores the basics of random variables along with extensive coverage of measurable functions and integration. Extensively treats conditional expectations with respect to a conditional probability measure and the concept of conditional effect functions, which are crucial in the analysis of causal effects. Is illustrated throughout with simple examples, numerous exercises, and detailed solutions. Provides website links to further resources, including videos of courses delivered by the authors as well as R code exercises to help illustrate the theory presented throughout the book. Aimed at mathematicians, applied statisticians and substantive researchers, this book will help readers to understand in terms of probability theory what applied statisticians and substantive researchers estimate and test in their empirical studies.
