Transactions of the eighth Prague conference on information theory, statistical decision functions, random processes held at Prague, from August 28 to Sept. 1, 1978 vol. B Information theory, statistical decision functions, random processes - Prague : Pub. House of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, c1978, (1957)- - v. 2:

Includes bibliographical references.

The papers cover topics ranging from metric concepts in continued fractions to concepts in statistical inference; from the mathematics of hypothesis testing to interpretations of game theory; from Markov decision processes to basic definitions in information theory set in lattices from; non-linear filtering of time series to new approaches in proving stochastic limit theorems; from subjective probability to the delights of a stochastic bang-bang theorem. All the papers are mathematical in nature. If anything, these volumes are more theoretical than those that reported the Seventh Prague Conference.
