Presents applications of probability theory and statistics in algorithm analysis, speech recognition, and robotics. The authors use probabilistic analysis to investigate Quicksort, dynamic algorithms, binary search trees, genetic algorithms, bin packing problems, and distributed algorithms. Speech recognition, particularly representation of time varying phenomena, and indoor robot navigation problems are addressed with hidden Markov models and Markov decision processes. The opening section of the book introduces the probabilistic and statistical tools needed. Based on lecture notes from a course taught at the University of Henri Poincar<'e>-Nancy. Annotation c.
