Title Probability, Statistical Optics, and Data Testing : A Problem Solving Approach Author(s) Frieden, Roy Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2001. Description XXIV, 494 p. 20 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note Scientists in optics are increasingly confronted with problems that are of a random nature and that require a working knowledge of probability and statistics for their solution. This textbook develops these subjects within the context of optics using a problem-solving approach. All methods are explicitly derived and can be traced back to three simple axioms given at the outset. Students with some previous exposure to Fourier optics or linear theory will find the material particularly absorbing and easy to understand. This third edition contains many new applications to optical and physical phenomena. This includes a method of estimating probability laws exactly, by regarding them as laws of physics to be determined using a new variational principle ISBN,Price 9783642566998 Keyword(s) 1.
