A brief review of basic probability theory∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The spread of infectious diseases is inherently a stochastic process and the materials posted at this website1 heavily rely on probability theory. Here we review some basic concepts of probability theory for easy reference. The material is restricted to notions that are used in teaching materials posted here or in our book chapters [1, 2]. While this posting cannot replace a regular textbook on probability, it can serve as a short refresher course.

متن کاملA Brief Introduction to the Basics of Game Theory
Game theory is a set of mathematical tools that are used to represent and study social interactions. This is a very brief (and not comprehensive) introduction to some of the basic ideas of game theory. In many ways, game theory is an extension of decision theory which is the study of rational choice when we are faced with uncertainty. For this reason, some of the basic concepts from decision th...
