Applied Stochastic System Modeling

This book was written for an introductory one-semester or two-quarter course in shastic processes and their applications. The reader is assumed to have a basic knowledge of analysis and linear algebra at an undergraduate level. Shastic models are applied in many fields such as engineering systems, physics, biology, operations research, business, economics, psychology, and linguistics. Shastic modeling is one of the promising kinds of modeling in applied probability theory. This book is inte...
