Contents:
1. Introduction-- 2. Statistical preliminaries-- 3. Markovian population processes-- 4. The birth-Death-Immigration process-- 5. Population processes exhibiting sub-poisson fluctuations and odd-even effects-- 6. The death-multiple immigration process-- 7. Stable processes and series of events-- 8. Coupled processes-- 9. Doubly stochastic processes-- 10. Level crossings of a continuous process-- 11. simulation techniques-- Glossary of special functions-- Index.
Summary: Discrete phenomena are an important aspect of various complex systems, acting both as underlying driving mechanisms and as manifestations of diverse behaviours. However, the characterisation of these discrete phenomena requires models that go beyond those featured in existing books.
