In this coverage the reader is quickly introduced to several different topics enriched with 175 exercises which focus on real-world problems. Exercises range from the classics of probability theory to more exotic research-oriented problems based on numerical simulations. Intended for graduate students in mathematics and applied sciences, the text provides the tools and training needed to write and use programs for research purposes. The first part of the text begins with a brief review of measure theory and revisits the main concepts of probability theory, from random variables to the standard limit theorems. The second part covers traditional material on stochastic processes, including martingales, discrete-time Markov chains, Poisson processes, and continuous-time Markov chains. The theory developed is illustrated by a variety of examples surrounding applications such as the gambler?s ruin chain, branching processes, symmetric random walks, and queueing systems. The third, more research-oriented part of the text, discusses special stochastic processes of interest in physics, biology, and sociology. Additional emphasis is placed on minimal models that have been used historically to develop new mathematical techniques in the field of stochastic processes: the logistic growth process, the Wright?Fisher model, Kingman?s coalescent, percolation models, the contact process, and the voter model. Further treatment of the material explains how these special processes are connected to each other from a modeling perspective as well as their simulation capabilities in C and MatlabTM. 000779496 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 10, 2017). 000779496 650_0 $$aStochastic models. 000779496 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319500376$$z9783319500379$$w(OCoLC)962015967 000779496 830_0 $$aUniversitext. 000779496 852__ $$bebk 000779496 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-50038-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000779496 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:779496$$pGLOBAL_SET 000779496 980__ $$aEBOOK 000779496 980__ $$aBIB 000779496 982__ $$aEbook 000779496 983__ $$aOnline 000779496 994__ $$a92$$bISE
