From the proliferation of mathematical/statistical concepts, trends and methods, we have in the following, and without bothering to supply evidence or proof, considered only those important in understanding the practical chapters or of particular significance in high-voltage engineering practice. We have given the mere outline, supplementing it on the one hand by bibliographical references relating to the fundamentals, and on the other by examples from, and advice on, applications in high-voltage engineering.
