TY - BOOK AU - Del Moral,Pierre AU - Penev,Spiridon TI - Stochastic processes: from applications to theory T2 - Texts in statistical science series SN - 9781498701839 U1 - 519.23 23 PY - 2017/// CY - Boca Raton PB - CRC Press KW - Stochastic processes N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index; I. An illustrated guide -- II. Stochastic simulation -- III. Discrete time processes -- IV. Continuous time processes -- V. Processes on manifolds -- VI. Some application areas N2 - Unlike traditional books presenting stochastic processes in an academic way, this book includes concrete applications that students will find interesting such as gambling, finance, physics, signal processing, statistics, fractals, and biology. Written with an important illustrated guide in the beginning, it contains many illustrations, photos and pictures, along with several website links. Computational tools such as simulation and Monte Carlo methods are included as well as complete toolboxes for both traditional and new computational techniques. ER -
