Processes commonly used in applications are Markov chains in discrete and continuous time, renewal and regenerative processes, Poisson processes, and Brownian motion. This volume gives an in-depth description of the structure and basic properties of these stochastic processes. A main focus is on equilibrium distributions, strong laws of large numbers, and ordinary and functional central limit theorems for cost and performance parameters. Although these results differ for various processes, they have a common trait of being limit theorems for processes with regenerative increments. Extensive examples and exercises show how to formulate stochastic models of systems as functions of a system's data and dynamics, and how to represent and analyze cost and performance measures. Topics include stochastic networks, spatial and space-time Poisson processes, queueing, reversible processes, simulation, Brownian approximations, and varied Markovian models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe technical level of the volume is between that of introductory texts that focus on highlights of applied stochastic processes, and advanced texts that focus on theoretical aspects of processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Serfozo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642430430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642430435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer PG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.93d","brand":"Richard Serfozo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052615495935,"sku":"9783642430435","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5531c253-b9ac-4ba1-9c0f-24689d59fd7a.jpg?v=1685019826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/basics-of-applied-stochastic-processes-richard-serfozo-9783642430435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
