Markov Processes: Characterization and Convergence (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics) - Hardcover
The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.
"[A]nyone who works with Markov processes whose state space is uncountably infinite will need this most impressive book as a guide and reference."
-American Scientist
"There is no question but that space should immediately be reserved for [this] book on the library shelf. Those who aspire to mastery of the contents should also reserve a large number of long winter evenings."
-Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete/Mathematics Abstracts
"Ethier and Kurtz have produced an excellent treatment of the modern theory of Markov processes that [is] useful both as a reference work and as a graduate textbook."
-Journal of Statistical Physics
Markov Processes presents several different approaches to proving weak approximation theorems for Markov processes, emphasizing the interplay of methods of characterization and approximation. Martingale problems for general Markov processes are systematically developed for the first time in book form. Useful to the professional as a reference and suitable for the graduate student as a text, this volume features a table of the interdependencies among the theorems, an extensive bibliography, and end-of-chapter problems.

From the Back Cover:
Recursive Estimation and Control for Stochastic Systems Han-Fu Chen This self-contained volume presents both the discrete-time and continuous-time systems, and incorporates not only well-known results in these fields but also many of the latest research findings. It shows how to analyze the convergence of recursive estimates through a combination of the probabilistic and ordinary differential equation methods and establishes the connection between the Gauss-Markov estimate and the Kalman filter through stochastic observability, and more. 1985 (0 471-81566-7) 378 pp. Nonparametric Density Estimation The L1 View Luc Devroye and Laszlo Gyorfi The first systematic, single-source examination that develops from first principles the "natural" theory for density estimation and shows why the classical L2 theory masks some fundamental properties of density estimates. Linking different subareas of statistics, including simulation, pattern recognition, detection theory, and minimax theory, it shows how to construct, use, and analyze density estimates. Relevant recent literature is tied in with the classical works of Parzen, Rosenblatt, and others. 1985 (0 471-81646-9) 368 pp. Elements of Applied Stochastic Processes Second Edition U. Narayan Bhat An applied introduction to stochastic models, this expanded and revised account develops basic concepts and techniques and applies them to problems arising in queueing, reliability, inventory and computer communications, social and behavioral processes, business management, and time series analysis. 1984 (0 471-87826-X) 736 pp.
