B SN - 9027709122 (volume A) AV - QA273 .C743 U1 - 519 PY - 1978///, (1957)- CY - Prague PB - Pub. House of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences KW - Information theory KW - Statistical decision KW - Probabilities KW - Stochastic processes N1 - Includes bibliographical references N2 - 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 ER -
