Statistical consequences of oily tails. On new computing approaches to decision making. Taleb N.N.

The book of the world famous thinker, the author of the Black Swan Nassim Nicholas Taleba opens the series The Technical Incerto Collection and is devoted to those classes of statistical distributions from which you can expect extreme events.

If you are not friends with graphs and Formulas, then from this book you will learn the information only about the scandals and exposure of the grief scientists. If you have taught mathematical statistics, this book will help you retrain. If you are a student or scientist, this book is an invaluable master class. For the first time, the research articles of Taleb and his students were collected under one cover, where the unique Talebov style of the thought of applied mathematics, which faces a life task, is not knowing whether it is possible to solve it, but to grab it, but to grab it, but to grab it, but To use the configured, if necessary, the entire arsenal of classical and modern mathematics and the entire power of computers. The author and his followers generously share with the reader their early guesses, intuition and analogies that helped them to find a solution.

“The books of the Incerto series are devoted to survival in the real world with its structure of uncertainty, which is too complicated for our understanding. The cycle aims to combine five areas of knowledge related to fatty tails and extreme events: in mathematics, philosophy, social sciences, contract theory and decision theory, with the experience of professionals. ” (Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
