They balance theory with direct applications in a non-technical format that considers the needs of researchers and students at a range of levels of mathematical background, and along with providing material on basic probability they provide tools for advanced research projects. They begin by explaining theories such as subjective probability and paradoxes in probability theory, then apply probability theory to statistics and explaining the Bayesian approach to statistics, the design of experiments, causation and causal inference and the randomness of computations. Articles on applications include time-series analysis, survival analysis, panel studies, models for the development of tests, simulation models of societies, gambling, insurance, credit scoring, expert systems, and court cases.
