ELEMENTS OF APPLIED STOCHASTIC PROCESSES, THIRD EDITION

This 3rd edition of the successful Elements of Applied Stochastic Processes improves on the last edition by condensing the material and organising it into a more teachable format. It provides more in-depth coverage of Markov chains and simple Markov process and gives added emphasis to statistical inference in stochastic processes.

• Integration of theory and application offers improved teachability
