About this title

Synopsis:

In this revised edition, the number of exercises has been doubled, and Wald's equation has been added along with examples of sum quota sampling. Chapters are organized around several prototype classes of stochastic processes featuring Markov chains in discrete and continuous time, Poisson processes and renewal theory, the evolution of branching events, and queueing models. Solutions to selected exercises are included. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
