Description:

Foster. Prerequisite(s): STAT 430, or permission of instructor. This course is to be a basic introduction to stochastic processes. The primary focus will be on Markov chains both in discrete time and in continuous time. By focusing attention on Markov chain, we can discuss many interesting models (from physics to economics).
