This concise monograph in probability by Mark Kac, a well-known mathematician, presumes a familiarity with Lebesgue's theory of measure and integration, the elementary theory of Fourier integrals, and the rudiments of number theory. Readers may then follow Dr. Kac's attempt "to rescue statistical independence from the fate of abstract oblivion by showing how in its simplest form it arises in various contexts cutting across different mathematical disciplines."...

Desde la antigüedad, el ser humano ha tratado de asimilar y cuantificar los fenómenos aleatorios, surgiendo distintas concepciones sobre el azar y lo probable; también por miles de años, el hombre ha realizado actividades asociadas con la recolección, organización e interpretación de información, las cuales paulatinamente fueron abordadas por la estadística. Tanto la probabilidad como la estadística se han constituido en herramientas de...

Among probability theorists, a bitter controversy has raged for decades between the adherents of John Maynard Keynes' A Treatise on Probability (1921) and those of Richard von Mises' "Grundlagen der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung" (1919). Keynes declared that probabilities measure the extent to which a so-called evidence proposition supports another sentence. Von Mises insisted that they measure the relative frequency with which the members of a so-called...
