Inference and Learning from Data Discover core topics in inference and learning with this extraordinary three-volume set. Ali H. Sayed (Author) 9781009218108, Cambridge University Press Multiple-component retail product, published 22 December 2022 3370 pages25.5 x 18 x 12 cm, 5.42 kg 'The book series is timely and indispensable. It is a unique companion for graduate students and early-career researchers. The three volumes provide an extraordinary breadth and depth of techniques and tools, and encapsulate the experience and expertise of a world-class expert in the field. The pedagogically crafted text is written lucidly, yet never compromises rigor. Theoretical concepts are enhanced with illustrative figures, well-thought problems, intuitive examples, datasets, and MATLAB codes that reinforce readers' learning.' Abdelhak Zoubir, TU Darmstadt This extraordinary three-volume work, written in an engaging and rigorous style by a world authority in the field, provides an accessible, comprehensive introduction to the full spectrum of mathematical and statistical techniques underpinning contemporary methods in data-driven learning and inference. The first volume, Foundations, establishes core topics in inference and learning, and prepares readers for studying their practical application. The second volume, Inference, introduces readers to cutting-edge techniques for inferring unknown variables and quantities. The final volume, Learning, provides a rigorous introduction to state-of-the-art learning methods. A consistent structure and pedagogy is employed throughout all three volumes to reinforce student understanding, with over 1280 end-of-chapter problems (including solutions for instructors), over 600 figures, over 470 solved examples, datasets and downloadable Matlab code. Unique in its scale and depth, this textbook sequence is ideal for early-career researchers and graduate students across many courses in signal processing, machine learning, statistical analysis, data science and inference.
