Stochastic Processes and Their Applications

Assuming basic knowledge of calculus and probability theory, this text presents stochastic processes in a user-friendly way, containing numerous worked examples. The large number of exercises allows readers to check their understanding of the underlying theory, along with their ability to apply stochastic modelling in their own fields.

This book introduces stochastic processes and their applications for students in engineering, industrial statistics, science, operations research, business, and finance. It provides the theoretical foundations for modeling time-dependent random phenomena encountered in these disciplines. Through numerous science and engineering-based examples and exercises, the author presents the subject in a comprehensible, practically oriented way, but he also includes some important proofs and theoretically challenging examples and exercises that will appeal to more mathematically minded readers. Solutions to most of the exercises are included either in an appendix or within the text.
