From the reviews: <p> This book is an excellent reference for those interested in how probability theory can be applied to concrete problems arising in engineering, biology, management science and operation research. a ] Several tables and figures enrich the book. Turning to more technical remarks, the book is certainly very well written, the proofs are clear and the examples are often illuminating. a ] This book will be valuable to graduate students or professionals a ] . The large number of problems makes it suitable for self study. (Fabio Mainardi, MathDL, April, 2007) <p> The book aims at providing the readers with a reference that covers the most important subjects in the field of stochastic processes and that is accessible to students who do not necessarily have a sound theoretical knowledge of mathematics. a ] In addition to the examples presented in the theory, the book contains approximately 350 exercises, many of which are multiple-part problems. (Oleg K. Zakusilo, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1127 (4), 2008) <p> This book on stochastic processes is aimed at mathematics students a ] and students from other disciplines such as engineering. a ] Each chapter is concluded with many exercisesa 337 in total in the book. a ] In general, the book is based on the trusted principles that all functions are measurable and all distributions are either discrete, or continuous, or mixed. a ] this is a well-structured text with a strong focus on doing calculations and applying the facts just learned.
