ISBN: 981238300X ISBN-13: 9789812383006 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $55.10 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: February 2003 Annotation: This textbook has been developed from the lecture notes for a one-semester course on stochastic modelling. It reviews the basics of probability theory and then covers the following topics: Markov chains, Markov decision processes, jump Markov processes, elements of queueing theory, basic renewal theory, elements of time series and simulation. Rigorous proofs are often replaced with sketches of arguments -- with indications as to why a particular result holds, and also how it is connected with other results -- and illustrated by examples. Wherever possible, the book includes references to more specialised texts containing both proofs and more advanced material related to the topics covered. |
